Description: Caption: "London Guarantee & Wrigley Bldg. Chicago," c. 1923. This photograph, taken at street level, features the London Guarantee Building (with the small cupola still under construction at its top) and the Wrigley Building (just to the right of the London Guarantee Building). The London Guarantee Building (also called the London Guaranty and Accident Building), designed by Alfred S. Alschuler, was completed in 1923. The Wrigley Building, constructed by the famous chewing gum magnate William Wrigley, Jr., consists of two towers. The south tower was completed in 1921, while the north tower was finished in 1924 (you can make out construction scaffolding on the top of the tower in this photograph).
