Avenue Beautiful Chicago Chicagos Facing Interesting Michigan Sky Scrapers Tribune Wrigley
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1930, showcases an iconic view of Chicago's Michigan Avenue, where two of the city's most beautiful and interesting structures, The Wrigley Building and The Tribune Tower, proudly face each other. The image transports us back in time to an era of architectural grandeur and innovation. The Wrigley Building, with its distinctive red terra cotta exterior and intricate Art Deco design, was completed in 1924 and was once the headquarters of the Wrigley Company, famous for its chewing gum. Its reflection in the calm waters of the Chicago River adds an extra layer of allure to the scene. Across the river, The Tribune Tower, completed in 1925, stands tall and majestic with its unique blend of Gothic and Classical architectural styles. The tower's most notable feature is its exterior cladding of limestone and marble from various famous structures around the world, including the Tower of London and the Great Pyramid of Egypt. This photograph is a testament to the rich architectural history of Chicago and the beauty of its urban landscape. The buildings, with their unique designs and historical significance, continue to attract visitors from around the world and serve as symbols of the city's past and present.
