SC Johnson Headquarters, Racine

I love this building. This has been on my bucket list for years. Tour was great, guide was very knowledgeable. A lot to see. I really wish we could have taken photos inside the administration building and research tower since they are no longer occupied and there is no proprietary information in view. The Lily Pad gift shop should also have books related to the architecture of the buildings and perhaps gifts to purchase related to the architectural design. I’m very glad that the company does provide access to the public for free tours though, it is definitely something to see!

We took a guided tour here. We booked ahead but the guide said it would be possible to walk up. No photos inside, just outside or through the windows. It was 1.5 hours and we went to three buildings. You’ll learn both about the company and Frank Lloyd Wright.

Frank Lloyd Wright is awesome! Who knew? This is really a Frank Lloyd Wright tour and it’s great.

Very well curated tours of the SC Johnson campus showing historical architecture that shaped how workplaces have evolved in the 21st century. A major perk of this tour is it’s free and open to the public year round. Unfortunately, no pictures are allowed once entering, and we went on a particularly cold day so I did not take any photos outside.

Important item to know: No internal photography allowed on any of the tours. Several signs stating it so I don’t think the policy is going to change anytime soon. Tip: Do try to sit in the chairs in the gathering room for the tour! You can sit in original FLW office chairs which you can’t do on the tour. The tour is pretty great! Totally recommend it! Amazing that the tower and so many parts of the main building are wrapped in glass tubes.
