“…the Wrigley Building… Chicago is…”

“My Kind of Town” – Frank Sinatra (1964)

“My kind of town, Chicago is…”

Most definitely. One of the majestic towers of The Wrigley Building, shown here is just a sample of the thousands of stunning sites on the landscape that is this city. The Wrigley Building was built by chewing gum tycoon, William Wrigley Jr, to headquarter his gum company here. It was completed in 1921. Architecturally, it’s outer facade has details reminiscent of French Renaissance style. Built on the “Miracle Mile” on Michigan Avenue, it sits on the northern banks of the Chicago River, directly across the street from another of Chicago’s stately landmarks: the Chicago Tribune Tower.
