Marshall Field's Store in North Shore Suburb Converted to Condos

EVANSTON, IL-A former Marshall Field’s department store in the downtown area of this North Shore suburb on Chicago’s doorstep has been converted into 54 one- and two-bedroom condominiums. The Evanston Galleria renovation kept many of the features of the art deco building constructed in 1929, from terrazzo floors in the lobby, original floor directories in the elevators and the trademark Marshall Field & Co. clock.

Evanston Galleria Investors, LLC bought the building September for $8.9 million, according to tax records. The building, converted into loft apartments after the store was closed in 1987, is a smaller-scale replica of the retailer’s State Street location. It is located at Church Street and Sherman Avenue.
