Wrigley Mansion, Historic mansion in Phoenix, United States
Wrigley Mansion is a white stucco house with a red tile roof on a 100-foot knoll at 2501 East Telewa Trail in Phoenix, Arizona. It has 24 rooms, 12 bathrooms and over 16,000 square feet, designed by Earl Heitschmidt in a mix of styles including Spanish Colonial. A stone-walled stairway with planted terraces descends the hillside, and a balcony with a dark railing holds white patio chairs.
The property was built between 1929 and 1931 following a design by architect Earl Heitschmidt, who created a winter residence for a Midwestern industrialist. Over the following decades the house changed ownership several times before opening to host social events.
The mansion is also called La Colina Solana, Spanish for "Sunny Hill", a nod to its knoll-top site. Since July 1992, when Geordie Hormel bought it, zoning rules have required it to run as a private club rather than a public venue. It has been named a Phoenix Point of Pride.
The property now operates as a private club with access for members and their guests as well as for events such as weddings or corporate gatherings. Visitors interested in touring the grounds or attending public programs can inquire in advance about availability.
The mansion's tilework was shipped from Wrigley's own factory on Catalina Island and hauled up the knoll by mule. The house was the smallest of the Wrigleys' residences, used only a few weeks a year, and William Wrigley died in 1932 shortly after it was finished.
