A vintage Marshall Field department store Afternoon Tea menu.
Marshall Field's, a historic Chicago department store, was a pioneer in American afternoon tea service having opened its first department store tearoom in Chicago in 1890, a year after the iconic Walnut Room was established. While the store is now part of Macy's, the tradition of afternoon tea was a significant part of its legacy, offering shoppers a refined place to enjoy tea, finger sandwiches, scones, and cakes. Marshall Field's tea rooms provided a comfortable and welcoming space for women to gather without the need for male escorts.
