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.[2] The building is now owned by DePaul University and is primarily used for classrooms, though the building also contains the university's downtown library, cafeteria, and student union. A Barnes & Noble store utilizes most of the first level retail space.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 27, 1989.[1]
