Description
For some, the name Wrigley is most known for chewing gum but to others the name is mostly associated with baseball (Wrigley Field in Chicago). Chewing gum magnate William Wrigley Jr. of the Wrigley Company acquired complete control of the Cubs in 1921. It was named Cubs Park from 1920 to 1926, before being renamed Wrigley Field in 1927.
William L. Wrigley Jr. (September 30, 1861 – January 26, 1932) was an American chewing gum industrialist. He was founder and eponym of the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company in 1891.
The William Wrigley Jr. Summer Cottage, or "Mount Ada", is a historic residence located at 76 Wrigley Road in Avalon, on Santa Catalina Island, California. It was the former summer mansion and gardens of William Wrigley Jr. (1861–1932), the founder of the Wrigley Company.[It is on a hill, overlooking the town and Avalon Bay.. The house was built in 1919–1921 as a summer retreat for the Wrigley's of Chicago, who owned 99% of Santa Catalina Island, one of the Channel Islands of California. It was designed in the Georgian Colonial Revival style by architect Walter H. Harris. The Wrigley's used it together until 1932, when Mr. Wrigley died
