7.  All of them.   The store was built for Schlesinger & Mayer in the late 1800s, then occupied by Mr. Selfridge before being sold to Carson, Pirie, Scott, which is what most in Chicago called the building.  The entire building is now the Sullivan Center, named after its famous architect, Louis Sullivan.

I got #6 correct, but only guessed A for #7 as I didn't know about the other two businesses.
