Wrigley Square

Wrigley Square is a section of Millennium Park in Chicago. It contains a nearly full-sized replica of the curving row of paired Greek columns that originally graced the northwest corner of Grant Park near Michigan Avenue and Randolph Street between 1917 and 1953.

A gift from the William Wrigley Jr. Company, the semi-circle of Doric-style columns rise to a height of nearly 40 feet, restoring a classical elegance to Grant Park.

It is not to be confused with Wrigley Field, the baseball stadium.
