Originally built in 1906 for the Stimson family, the Italian Renaissance-style mansion was purchased in 1914 by William Wrigley Jr., the chewing gum magnate.

In 1958, after Ada's death, the Wrigley family gifted the mansion to the City of Pasadena, stipulating that it become the headquarters for the Tournament of Roses Association. Today, the Tournament House hosts visitors for tours and serves as the backdrop for many Tournament of Roses activities.

The mansion also boasts the Wrigley Gardens, which span 4.5 acres and feature over 1,500 varieties of roses, camellias, and seasonal blooms.
