Golden Rondelle
Theatre S.237 – Johnson Wax Building, 1525
Howe Street, Racine, Wisconsin Photographed on May 11, 2012. The Golden Rondelle
Theatre served as the S.C. Johnson Company’s exhibition hall at the 1964/1965
World’s Fair in New York. After the
fair, it was moved to Racine, where it anchors the visitor center for company
tours. This is where people meet to
tour the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed corporate headquarters. The theatre, which is above the visitor
center, still hosts screenings of “To Be Alive!,” which was
shown at the World’s Fair by S.C. Johnson. Wright did not design the Golden Rondelle.
Nonetheless, Taliesin Associates coordinated the installation of the
theatre in Racine. Replica furniture
from the Johnson Wax Building is shown in the tour lobby. |
