The Wrigley Building (400-410 North Michigan Avenue, Near North Side, Chicago, Illinois) is a skyscraper located directly across Michigan Avenue from the Tribune Tower on the Magnificent Mile. It was built to house the corporate headquarters of the Wrigley Company. When ground was broken for the Wrigley Building in 1920, there were no major office buildings north of the Chicago River and the Michigan Avenue Bridge, which spans the river just south of the building was still under construction. The land was selected by chewing gum magnate William Wrigley Jr. to headquarter his gum company. The building was designed by the architectural firm of Graham, Anderson, Probst & White using the shape of the Giralda tower of Seville's Cathedral combined with French Renaissance details. The 425-foot (130 m) south tower was completed in April 1921 and the north tower in May 1924. Walkways between the towers were added at the ground level and the third floor. In 1931, another walkway was added at the fourteenth floor to connect to offices of a bank in accordance with a Chicago statute concerning bank branch offices. The two towers, not including the levels below Michigan Avenue, have a combined area of 453,433 square feet (42,125.3 m2). The two towers are of differing heights, with the south tower rising to 30 stories and the north tower to 21 stories. On the south tower is a clock with faces pointing in all directions. Each face is 19 feet 7 inches (5.97 m) in diameter. The building is clad in glazed terra-cotta, which provides its gleaming white façade. On occasion, the entire building is hand washed to preserve the terra cotta. At night, the building is brightly lit with floodlights. The Wrigley Building was Chicago’s first air-conditioned office building. If one walks through the center doors, they will find themselves in a secluded park area overlooking the Chicago River. Le Wrigley Building est un gratte-ciel situé 410 N. Michigan Avenue dans le secteur de Near North Side de la ville de Chicago aux États-Unis. Il fut conçu par le cabinet d'architectes Graham, Anderson, Probst & White et construit pour héberger le siège de Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company, une entreprise fabriquant du chewing-gum. Son architecture s'inspire de la tour Giralda à Séville combiné à des influences de la Renaissance française. La tour sud (130 m) fut achevée en avril 1921 et la tour nord en mai 1924. En 1920, il n'y avait pas de grands immeubles de bureaux au nord de la rivière Chicago et le Michigan Avenue Bridge, qui enjambe la rivière juste au sud du bâtiment était encore en construction. La première passerelle entre les deux tours a été construite au niveau du troisième étage. En 1931, une autre passerelle a été ajoutée au quatorzième étage afin d'offrir un accès rapide et plus simple aux bureaux d'une banque en conformité avec une loi de Chicago concernant les succursales bancaires. Les deux tours, sans inclure les niveaux inférieurs sur Michigan Avenue, ont une superficie totale de 453.433 pieds carrés (soit 42 125 m2). Les deux tours sont de hauteurs différentes, la tour sud possède 30 étages quant à la tour nord, elle n'en possède que 21. Sur la tour sud il y a une horloge de pointage avec des visages pointant dans toutes les directions. Chaque face est de 19 pieds et 7 pouces (soit 5,97 m) de diamètre. Le bâtiment est recouvert de terre cuite vernissée, qui lui donne sa façade blanche brillante. Environ une fois tous les deux ans, lors du nettoyage de la façade, tout le bâtiment est lavée à la main pour préserver la terre cuite. La nuit, le bâtiment est éclairé par de grands projecteurs et l'horloge est illuminée en bleue. Le Wrigley Building a été le premier immeuble de bureaux de la ville à être équipé d'un système d'air conditionné.
