EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases The Field Building, a historic Chicago skyscraper located at the intersection of Lasalle, Clark, and Adams streets. Built around 1930, this architectural marvel stands tall at 535 feet (163m) high, making it an impressive addition to the Chicago skyline during that era. The Field Building, designed by the architectural firm of Holabird & Root, was one of the first buildings in the city to feature an all-glass facade, showcasing its modern and innovative design. The image captures the building's grandeur with its sleek lines, intricate details, and the reflection of the surrounding cityscape in its glass windows. The Field Building was named after Marshall Field III, the president of the Marshall Field and Company department store, and was intended to serve as the company's headquarters. However, the company eventually moved to a new location, and the building was repurposed for various uses over the years. Despite the passage of time, The Field Building remains a cherished piece of Chicago's architectural history. Its unique design and historical significance continue to draw the attention of locals and tourists alike, making it a must-see destination for anyone visiting the Windy City. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and ingenuity of Chicago's architectural past and serves as a reminder of the city's rich history and its commitment to progress and innovation.
