An American Mansion ($89)
Thursday, September 4, 1:45pm - 4:15pm
Built in 1932 by chewing gum magnate William Wrigley Jr., the mansion sits atop a 100 foot knoll with commanding views of the mountains and the city below. This incredible estate was built as a 50th wedding anniversary gift for his beloved wife, Ada. With 16,850 square feet, 24 rooms, and 12 bathrooms, it was the smallest of the Wrigley houses and was used only four to eight weeks out of the year. Eleven fireplaces, each of them unique in their own right, attest to the mansion's individual character and special charm. Embracing elements of Spanish, California Monterey and Mediterranean architecture, the mansion stands as a monument to an elegance and opulence seldom seen or experienced in one's everyday encounters.
