The Wrigley Building is one of Chicago’s most emblematic buildings — a gleaming white palazzo at the head of our city’s grandest boulevard, Michigan Avenue. Join us for a panel discussion with the Chicago-based creatives behind the new book The Wrigley Building: The Making of an Icon as they unveil fresh perspectives on this architectural marvel. They provide a fascinating social history illuminating the building’s significance as more than just a structural landmark but as a nexus of Chicago’s cultural, social, and business evolution.

Panelists:

Photographer William Zbaren

Writer Robert Sharoff

Cultural historian Tim Samuelson

Architect and historian John Vinci

Moderated by writer and editor Alison Cuddy
