Wrigley, William, Jr., Winter Cottage
About this property
The Wrigley Mansion in Phoenix, Arizona, is a landmark building constructed between 1929 and 1931 by chewing-gum magnate William Wrigley Jr. It is also known as William Wrigley Jr. Winter Cottage and as La Colina Solana. Located at 2501 East Telewa Trail, it sits atop a 100-foot (30 m) knoll with views of greater Phoenix to the south, close to the Arizona Biltmore Hotel, which Wrigley owned. Architect Earl Heitschmidt of Los Angeles designed the home at a cost of $1.2 million, in a combination of styles, including Spanish Colonial. The William Simpson Construction Company also of Los Angeles built the home. It has 24 rooms, 12 bathrooms, and over 16,000 square feet (1,500 m2). Much of the extensive tilework was shipped to Phoenix from Wrigley's own factory in Catalina, hauled by mule to the site. The Wrigleys maintained other residences in Chicago; Philadelphia; Lake Geneva, Wisconsin; Catalina Island; and Pasadena, and used this, the smallest of their houses, for only a few weeks a year. William Wrigley died in 1932, shortly after its completion. The Wrigley Mansion in Pasadena was donated to the City of Pasadena by Mrs. Wrigley for the use of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association as its offices. The association is the producer of the annual Rose Parade and Rose Bowl games. In July 1992, Geordie Hormel bought the mansion and made it available for meetings, conventions and similar functions. Due to zoning regulation, The Wrigley Mansion must operate as a private club. The Wrigley Mansion was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. The mansion has been designated as a Phoenix Point of Pride. The mansion has been Winner of The Knot Weddings for 2011, 2009, and 2008. National Register of Historic Places listings in Phoenix
