Marshall Field & Company (Marshall Field's) was a department store in Chicago, Illinois that grew to become a major chain before being acquired by Macy's Inc. on August 30, 2005.

The former flagship Marshall Field and Company Building location on State Street in The Loop of downtown Chicago was officially renamed Macy's on State Street on September 9, 2006, and is now one of four national Macy's flagship stores - one of two within the company's Macy's East retail division alongside its New York store at Herald Square. Initially, the State Street store was the lead store of the Macy's North division, immediately following the merger.

For generations of Chicagoans Christmas wasn't complete without a visit to Marshall Field's Christmas windows, lunch at the Walnut Room and ice cream delights at the Crystal Palace. The windows were magical creations, lovingly crafted confections embodying the richness of human imagination and the supreme skills of many an artisan. The Field's windows, as best I can recall, began their decline in the late 80s. Macy's, it seems, has taken them to new lows. "Cheaping out" and "lame" were the words that came to mind as I walked past them.
