Wrigley Building

The Wrigley Building was reminiscent of 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. This building also dealt with the laws surrounding tall buildings. When it was first built, the Wrigley Building was actually not allowed to be populated on its upper floors because of a Chicago law prohibiting people above a certain height. In 1916 New York but a law in place dictating the setback of tall buildings off the street as it grows in height. It took several years before similar laws were established in Chicago.
