MARSHALL FIELD'S: A BUILDING BOOK FROM THE CHICAGO ARCHITECTURE FOUNDATION by Jay Pridmore; PUBLISHER: Pomegranate Communications, Inc., Rohnert Park, CA; a 2002 first printing; 63 pages.
Marshall Field was never afraid to think big. He built the largest department store in the world, and his architect, Daniel Burnham, saw to it that the store was unmatched in elegance. Drawing its influences from the Florentine palazzi of the ...Renaissance as well as Beaux-Arts monumentalism and the Chicago School, the building radiated luxury from the outside. But the exterior gave only a hint of the interior's sheer, effulgent opulence. An extravagantly beautiful Louis Tiffany mosaic dome poured light like honey onto all who entered, and they were stunned to find themselves in such sumptuous surroundings. Field's was as close to a temple of commerce as any building has ever come.
