S.239 – Herbert F. Johnson
Residence “Wingspread” – Furniture Photographed on May 12, 2012. Built in 1937 for the president of the
Johnson Wax company. Around that time,
Wright was also designing and building the Johnson Wax headquarters in
Racine, a few miles south (S.237). Wingspread served as a residence until
1961, when the Johnson family donated it to a foundation for use as a
convention and meeting center. It
continues in that role today. Although
it does not offer formal tours, the facility is open to the public. Photography is permitted throughout the
property, with the exception of some work areas.
