Johnson Wax

We left Indiana and hurried to Racine, Wisconsin for a tour of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Johnson Wax Building. Tours are given only on Fridays.

The shorter building on the right is the Administration Center housing the "Great Workroom." It opened in 1939. The tall building in the rear is the Research Tower, opened in 1950.

The entrance is around and under the Research Tower. Photography was not allowed inside. To see some interior photos of questionably legality, click here.

The Golden Rondelle was originally built as the SC Johnson Pavilion at the New York World's Fair in 1964-65. To see how it looked at the fair, click here.
