- On this episode Greg and the crew of The American Landscape travel to Phoenix, AZ to visit The Wrigley Mansion. The Wrigley Mansion is a breathtaking landmark originally constructed in 1932 by chewing gum magnate William Wrigley Jr.. It was thoughtfully designed as a 50th-anniversary gift to his beloved wife, Ada. Sitting at the top of a hill, The Mansion commands the most dramatic views in #Phoenix, showcasing the mountains and the city below. Its architecture includes curated elements of Spanish, California Monterey, and Mediterranean styles. Original tiles still grace The Mansion, having been shipped from the Wrigley family’s tile factory on Catalina Island and carted up the hill by donkey.
Once sold by the Wrigley family in 1973, it changed hands several times. In 1992, as the city of Phoenix was planning to tear it down to make room for condos, the late Geordie Hormel (son on the inventor of SPAM) and his wife, Jamie, fell in love with the property and purchased it. Together they restored it with the intention of sharing its inherent magic with everyone. Today, the Wrigley Mansion is a premier fine dining and special event venue. It houses Geordie’s Restaurant and Lounge, Jamie’s Wine Bar, and offers the ever-popular Sunday Brunch.

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Once i heard that the mansion actually goes down into the knoll it's built on
It certainly might do that. I did not see anything that lead me think that. But sure, why not. Maybe a cellar of some time. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
