The
A. M. Rothschild & Company Store
, also known as the
Goldblatt's Building
, is a historic
department store
building located at 333 South State Street in the
Loop
neighborhood of
Chicago
,
Illinois
. The store was built in 1912 for the Rothschild & Company department store, which was founded in the late 1800s by
Abram M. Rothschild
. Prominent
Chicago School
architects
Holabird & Roche
designed the store; while the firm had also designed the company's previous, smaller store, the 1912 building was their first and only full-block department store design. The building's skeletal frame and large windows are typical of Chicago School buildings, while its extensive
terra cotta
ornamentation reflects the then-popular
Beaux-Arts
style. Rothschild & Company occupied the building until 1923, when
Marshall Field & Company
purchased it; it was sold again in 1936 to
Goldblatt's
, who ran their flagship store in the building until 1981.

The building was added to the
National Register of Historic Places
on November 27, 1989.
