Completed in 1934, it was originally named after Marshall Field, the renowned department store magnate. Designed by the architectural firm Graham, Anderson, Probst & White, the Field Building quickly became a symbol of modernity and progress with its striking Art Deco design and towering presence. At the time of its completion, it was one of the tallest buildings in the city. Over the years, it has undergone several name changes due to changes in ownership, but its architectural significance and historical prominence have endured, making it an integral part of Chicago's skyline and cultural heritage.
