| The Marshall Field's Clock at State & Washington (and Randolph & State) |
This magnificent clock was designed by Pierce Anderson of the firm Graham, Anderson, Probst & White and is made of almost 8 tons of cast bronze. The story goes that Marshall Field saw the corners of his store becoming a popular meeting place and felt that a great clock would give the corner distiction and also help people with puncuality. Good idea! The clock was intalled on Nov. 26th, 1897 and has been helping people get together ever since.
