Expanding Our Film
In 2019, we created a 24-minute documentary to celebrate Marshall’s life and legacy. Since then, we have shared it widely at Marshall properties, landmark theaters, and cultural institutions across the city. Now, in order to share the film on public television, we need to expand it to 55 minutes to meet broadcast standards.
We have many exciting new developments to include, reflecting Marshall’s growing recognition and the expanded support from the City of Chicago. To share this story with a wider audience, we need your help.
Our goal total cost is $120,000 and as a fully volunteer-run 501(c)(3), every dollar goes directly into production. Your gift will bring this film to life and honor Marshall’s extraordinary legacy.
A contribution at any level makes a real difference. Donors will be recognized in the film credits or retain anonymity if preferred.
Support Marshall’s story today with your commitment and help us ensure his legacy inspires future generations.

Book Fundraiser
In 2016, the Benjamin Marshall Society published Benjamin Marshall: Chicago Architect, a beautifully produced volume that introduced readers to the life and work of one of Chicago’s most imaginative architects. The book quickly became an important resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in Chicago’s architectural history.
Since then, new information, photographs, and archival discoveries have emerged. We are raising funds to reprint the book and expand its contents, ensuring it remains a trusted reference and accessible introduction to Marshall’s legacy.
Your donation will support updated research, additional images, and production of the new edition. Help us share Marshall’s story with a wider audience and preserve his legacy for years to come.
