Marshall Field's Wholesale Store around 1890.

Marshall Field's Wholesale Store, Chicago, Illinois, sometimes referred to as the Marshall Field's Warehouse Store, was a landmark seven-story Henry Hobson Richardson-designed building.

H.H. Richarson designed exterior masonry piers and arches with interior framing of wood and iron.

Commissioned in 1885 by legendary merchant Marshall Field for the wholesale business of his eponymously name department store, it opened in 1887 encompassing the block bounded by Quincy, Franklin, Adams and Wells Streets.

Marshall Field and Company closed the building in 1930 after opening the Merchandise Mart. It was torn down shortly after.
