Albert Flesch worked the camera department of Siegel-Cooper, one of the largest department stores of its day, until 1899 when he opened up his own store, Central Camera. Remaining family owned and now in its third generation of operation, this one-stop-shop supplies all your camera and photography needs. They can outfit you with either digital or film cameras, accessories, dark room equipment, or anything photography related you're looking to buy, sell, trade or repair.

State Street Shopping
Department Stores
Chicago shopping began on State Street, often called “That Great Street,” in the heart of the Loop. One of the city’s first major retail outlets, the flagship Marshall Field's State Street store (now Macy’s) has been a Chicago icon and world-class shopping destination for more than 150 years. The store is an architectural and historical marvel, offering ten selling floors of premier ready-to-wear clothes, collections by Chicago-based designers and the finest home lines. It stretches from Randolph on the north to Congress on the south.
Located in the Loop for 50 years and awarded "The A-List" sector of the "Best in Class" by Esquire magazine, Syd Jerome specializes in menswear. The shop provides custom suiting as well as suits by designers such as Zegna, Armani, Canali and Brioni.
