CHARLES ATWOOD. Architectural Ornament

MARSHALL FIELD and Company

Charles Atwood was "in the thick" of designing  some 30 structures at the Columbian Exposition when he was given the Marshall Field Commission.  He did not give it short shrift.

Tucked below the cornice at Wabash and Washington, this piece of figural sculpture watches over the building.  The  quality is best seen with binoculars -- and by the lucky few with offices directly across the street......ten floors up.
