The Wrigley Mansion | Arizona Stories Shorts
High on a hill overlooking the Arizona Biltmore Hotel stands the Wrigley Mansion. Like the Biltmore, the Wrigley Mansion was a place that epitomized gracious living. The histories between the two are entwined thanks to gum magnate and former Chicago Cubs owner, William Wrigley Jr. After Wrigley bought out the MacArthur brothers’ interest in the Biltmore, he built the house on the hill overlooking the hotel.
The house, initially intended as a 50th anniversary gift for his wife, was finished in 1931. The mansion was called “La Colina Solana,” the sunny hill and provides beautiful views of the Valley.
