Merchandise Mart

Built by Marshall Field in 1931, it was the largest building in the world in floor area until the Pentagon was built.
Designed by Graham, Anderson, Probst & White in the style of the moderne of the 20s, it is heavily influenced by Egyptian
patterns, this is due to the big 'thing' at the time being the discovery of Tutenkhamen's tomb. Unfortunately, Marshall
Field built this at the worst possible time. He sold it for half the construction cost to the Kennedy's when the depression hit.
