Phillip & Nellie Wrigley House
973 E. South Temple 1926, Vincent-Peterson Co. (builder), SLC

The Wrigley House is one of the early examples of the Spanish Colonial Revival style in Salt Lake City. The house’s white stucco walls, round arch openings, wrought iron grill, and the low-relief ornaments in the gable end and above the front steps are all typical of this style. The house also originally featured another Spanish Colonial Revival hallmark—a red tile roof. There is beautiful stained glass in the west window on the front facade and in three windows on the east facade. Also note the twisted pilasters which appear along side many of the arched openings.

The first occupants of this house were Phillip and Nellie Wrigley. Phillip Wrigley established a clothing store called “Sweet Sixteen” and had shops in Salt Lake City, Logan, Ogden, and Provo. He died suddenly in 1926, shortly after this house was completed. Nellie Wrigley lived here with her daughter until 1934.

Note the original sandstone sidewalk along much of this block of South Temple. Sections of sandstone sidewalk, curb, and gutter still exist in many places on the street. These elements contribute to the historic streetscape which makes South Temple unique.
