EDITORS COMMENTS
The Wrigley Building, an architectural gem nestled in the heart of Chicago, Illinois, USA, stands as a proud testament to American ingenuity and architectural brilliance. This iconic structure, captured beautifully in this photograph by Paul Brown for Mary Evans Picture Library, was completed in 1924 and designed by the renowned architectural firm of Graham, Anderson, Probst & White. The Beaux-Arts style building, with its distinctive white terra cotta exterior adorned with intricate details and ornate sculptures, was commissioned by the wealthy chewing gum magnate, William Wrigley Jr. The building's design was inspired by the classic Italian palaces, reflecting the influence of European architecture on American shores. The Wrigley Building's most striking feature, however, is its soaring clock tower, which reaches a height of 425 feet and is adorned with the American flag and the stars and stripes of the Illinois state flag. This patriotic display is a tribute to the building's proud American heritage and the values of freedom, unity, and progress that the United States represents. The Wrigley Building's location on Michigan Avenue, one of Chicago's most famous streets, makes it a popular tourist destination and a beloved landmark for both locals and visitors alike. Its reflection in the calm waters of the Chicago River adds to its allure, creating a breathtaking scene that is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who behold it. This photograph captures the essence of The Wrigley Building, a symbol of American pride and architectural excellence, and invites us to appreciate the beauty and history of this remarkable structure.
