The name of Carson Pirie Scott and Company dates to 1890, when Robert Scott joined the department store owned by Samuel Carson and John Pirie in Chicago. The business flourished and its main store long occupied an architecturally significant building at the corner of State and Madison streets. Although that store is now closed, its legacy remains in the chain of stores known as Carson's.
