The Wrigley building continues to be one of Chiaago's prize architectural icons. There are many. Here in a late summer afternoon with the camera pointed into a large Walgreen's window that shares the space between the two wings of this building, a reflection of the south wing and interior details of the east wing share the space.
When The Wrigley Building first opened there was an observatory above the 26th floor in the Clock Tower; admission was 5 cents and included a piece of Wrigley gum. It took 250,000 terra-cotta tiles to clad the two towers, the most of any building at the time of construction. The tiles are occasionally hand-washed to keep them bright. The tiles are six shades of white, from blue-white at the bottom to creamy-white at the top, so the building looks brighter as it rises.
