"I just witnessed my boy turning into a man walking down his way by my mom's visit what made us gather for the intention to love a better life and realized you're closer to your best version in your life and your family. The view to the surroundings 6 beautiful outstanding! Like feeling amazed for the first time. It's just a slightly different path to be followed and also let go at times, but I'm looking forward to the gatekeeper to keep my yard better organized."
"Amazing building, but there is no way for us to see the interior (at least that is what we were told at the front desk). Nothing like a cafe or restaurant or any open tour or visits for us to learn more about this historic and iconic building."

"All about the late 1800's here! The Wrigley building is adjacent to the river where you can catch the river Architectural cruise. Also a favorite among Brides."
"This a fantastic piece of Chicago architecture. Everything built since has some serious competition! Here's the history... When ground was broken for the Wrigley Building in 1920, there were no major office buildings north of the Chicago River. The Michigan Avenue Bridge, which spans the river just south of the building, was still under construction. The land was selected by chewing gum magnate William Wrigley Jr. for the headquarters of his company. The building was designed by the architectural firm of Graham, Anderson, Probst & White using the shape of the Giralda tower of Seville's Cathedral combined with French Renaissance details. The 425-foot (130 m) south tower was completed in September 1921 and the north tower in May 1924. Walkways between the towers were added at the ground level and the third floor. In 1931, another walkway was added at the fourteenth floor to connect to offices of a bank in accordance with a Chicago statute concerning bank branch offices. The two towers, not including the levels below Michigan Avenue, have a combined area of 453,433 square feet (42,125.3 m2)."
