Formerly owned by chewing gum magnate William Wrigley, Jr, this grand old mansion is now home to the offices of the Tournament of Roses Parade. It's open for tours for six months of the year, and is worth a look as much for its stately gardens as for its handsome and occasionally stunning interior.
