Ask Geoffrey: The Wrigley Building’s 100th Anniversary

[@deborahabraham6183]

My maternal grandfather was one of the builders of the Wrigley building in Chicago I wasn't born when he did this but I certainly heard about the experience that he had.

Happy Birthday Wrigley Building. You're an icon

[@anandpatel1074]

Great video!

[@ericnyamu9981]

Damn the building has chewed all those years like a pro. Lol.

Gotham City was inspired by Wrigley Building and Tribune Tower. When Tribune Tower East goes up it will give off really nice contrast. Old world and Future side by side

I enjoy architecture myself; ;because it brings me back to my past, a simpler time. But, guys, let's not get too caught up in buildings. The life is the people within them. They do not "inspire", but merely give warmth and covering from the elements with artistic flare. Someday all these buildings in every city will lie in ruin and the next generation will remember them no more, nor even care that they were there; but be living in their own day.

@Pop Punk Dot Com Amen, my architectural brother. If I'm not mistaken, doesn't this building have small pieces of other famous buildings embedded into the ground level facade? Like an piece of brick from the Bastille and a chunk of marble from the Acropolis?

I can imagine this building during the 1920s. Take out the modern buildings put a black and white filter and Michigan Avenue looks identical

I still like shopping in person. An ice cream museum sounds interesting.

[@usmgreen1]

You said stores are closing on Michigan Avenue from shopping on line ....... How about Riots and shop lifting gangs ......

[@Yesitisbrett]

There are some pretty raunchy creatures out there 🤢

[@nothx512]

Pretty sure Gotham City was influenced by the Wrigley Building

Upgrade the lights on the Water Tower too to LED. The orange lights are way past their prime

Tartaria

[@ezioaugustus2621]

Meh, It's no Fisher Building.

[@lenoraberendt750]

Must you people politicize everything?! Shut up!

[@bigguy7353]

Good thing it has no stores, it would be shoplifted to kingdom come like Michigan Ave.

[@boataxe4605]

It has a Walgreens.

Turn the mag mile into a place for adult entertainment with Casinos, dispensaries, bars, and experiences. What do we have to lose.
