Standing on a triangular piece of land at the northwest
corner of Michigan Avenue and the Chicago River, The
Wrigley Building has been an iconic part of the city’s skyline
for over 95 years. The Wrigley Building consists of two towers,
completed in 1921 and 1924, connected by walkways at
the 3rd and 14th floors. The Wrigley Building’s architecture
combines French Renaissance and Spanish Revival styles,
but adds a unique American twist.
The Wrigley Building is clad in more than 250,000 terra
cotta tiles of more than 500 unique designs. The tiles are
six different colors, ranging from blue-white at the bottom
to creamy white at the top, to enhance a sunlit appearance.
