Wright and Like 2010 is in Racine!

Wright and Like 2010 provides rare opportunities to access unique architecture in Racine and Kenosha that spans three centuries during the course of three days.

Friday Evening, June 4th - Spend Friday evening on the iconic SC Johnson campus exploring and dining in the new Fortaleza Hall, after a photographic tour of the rarely-seen interior of the SC Johnson Research Tower, presented by Mark Hertzberg in the Golden Rondelle.

Saturday, June 5th - The Wright and Like tour includes two of Wright's most important works, the SC Johnson Administration Building and Wingspread, both of them National Historic Landmarks. An elegant townhouse by Russell Barr Williamson and a mid-century Usonian, both in Kenosha, join a Prairie house in Racine's Southside Historic District, along with three 1950s homes by John Randal McDonald, including one recently enlarged and sensitively upgraded by Racine architect Ken Dahlin. Tour headquarters, a brick Italianate mansion with surprising Art Nouveau interior elements, completes this group of homes—all new to the Wright & Like Tour.

Sunday Morning, June 6th - Step back into the 19th century for a brunch in the Great Hall of the DeKoven Center and a tour of its Gothic Revival Style architecture.

As you explore these remarkable structures, their gardens and sites, we invite you to reflect on the influence of the built environment on the human spirit and to experience the positive effect of these poetic spaces and quiet places on the human soul.
