"S. C. Johnson & Son, Inc. (commonly referred to as S. C. Johnson) is an American multinational privately held manufacturer of household cleaning supplies and other consumer chemicals based in Racine, Wisconsin. In 2017, S. C. Johnson employed approximately 13,000 people and had estimated sales of $10 billion. The company is owned by the Johnson family. H. Fisk Johnson, Chairman and CEO since 2004, is the fifth generation of the Johnson family to lead the company." CC Wikipedia There's an enormous amount of information on their website. This is another historic American Company. There's so many of their products my family has used over generations. I've taken photos of a few I currently have in my kitchen and bath. I'm a fan. This review is for the company not the building. I might add the headquarters building is historic in its own right. A definite must see if you're in Racine, Wisconsin. read more

I came for the Frank Lloyd Wright architecture tour - the research tower and admin building. 2 amazing examples of Wrights non-residential architecture. Weight also built a house for the original Mr Johnson - it's called Wingspan- and that is a separate tour (that I unfortunately was not able to book) I love American Architecture so I loved this tour. The docents were knowledgeable and gave you plenty of time to explore the different areas and were eager to answer questions. The tour is free. But reservations are required No photography allowed inside any of the buildings. . read more

If you're an aficionado of American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, this is a must-see destination. The 90-minute tour by trained docents gives you access to one of the architect's most noteworthy designs. Immerse yourself into Wright's world, walk the steps of those who roamed the Great Workroom on a daily basis and climb the Research Tower onto two floors that have been reimagined with the lab environs of past decades. Let the magic of this art moderne design spill over you as it did for employees and visitors from the 1940s onward when the facility was in actual operation. This tour does not disappoint. At the time of this writing, there is no fee or charge. Inside photography is not permitted. read more

No doubt about it! Tours have been a part of the SC Johnson World Headquarters for some time but until today, I've never had a chance to take the tour. It was worth the wait. The tour begins at the Golden Rondelle Theater, the building resembles a flying saucer and was the star of the New York Worlds' Fair in 1964. (It was moved to Racine after the fair closed.) From there, the tour goes to the Research and Development Tower, which was in operation from 1950 to 1982. The tower was never open to the public until 2014. The tour continues to the Administration building, built in 1938, and wraps up Fortaleza Hall. Both the Administration Building and Research Tower were designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and demonstrate Wright's vision of combining nature with business. The Administration Building opened in 1938. The unique building is Wright through-and-through including every little detail. The major component of the building is the unique columns that Wright called "dendriform." The elegant columns have also been called golf tees, trees or mushrooms. They are 18'6" in diameter at the capital and taper to 9" at the footing. They appear to be quite delicate but don't be fooled. The columns support a 2 ton live load but are designed to support at least a 12 ton load. A dendriform column was tested prior to construction, it held a 60 ton load overnight without failure. The roof was comprised of Pyrex tubes when constructed. (Today, the glass has been replaced with acrylic tubing, which provides the same indirect lighting Wright envisioned but provide a better environmental performance. Wright always knew that someday, technology would catch up with his designs!) The Research and Development Tower was also designed by Wright, as a component of the campus. The tower is one of the tallest cantilever buildings ever constructed. The 15 floors of the building are supported by a central core that contains an elevator and a winding staircase for access, the core also contains a dumbwaiter and mechanical systems. None of the floors are supported by the outside shell. The building alternates square floors with round mezzanine floors. Wright thought better communication could be achieved by talking over the open area that was part of the circular mezzanine floors. The shell is comprised of alternating layers comprised of Wright's specified Johnson Cherokee Red bricks and Pyrex glass tubes that provided more than ample diffused light in the lab. (You can make out the round mezzanine floors through the tube windows.) The tower was opened in 1950 and was used until 1982. The narrow, winding stairway and elevator provided the only egress, far inadequate for modern fire codes. As a result, the building has never been open to public tours. That changed in 2014, two floors are open for the tour and are an R&D museum, the lab looks like the staff went home one night and never returned. The limited size of tour groups is how the fire code issue was solved. The tour finishes in the new Fortaleza Hall. On display in the atrium is an exact replica of H.L. Johnson, Jr.'s airplane, a Sikorsky S-38 "Flying Boat," dubbed Carnauba. The aircraft was how Mr. Johnson was able to secure a source in South America for carnauba wax, a necessary resource for SC Johnson's core product lines. Tour groups are limited in size. The tours are free, however, advance reservations are required and with Frank Lloyd Wright aficionados eager to experience the R& D tower, tickets are scarce - but the outstanding tour is worth the wait and the effort to get to Racine! read more

I will be back, at some point, to take the tour, but my recent (and only) visit here was to participate in a product testing. My visit took place in the evening and, as told to me by another test participant who is a Racine dweller, the building is located "in the ghetto of Racine"....aka not a very good part of town. She then proceeded to tell everyone that a murder had taken place days ago just blocks from the location. Nice! I learned that the building we were to take the study in was once a hospital; that was interesting, but my main interest is in Frank Lloyd Wright, who had a hand in designing part of the main campus so, as I said, I look forward to taking that tour...in the daytime! :) 80/2014 read more

I've just discovered the magic of Shout Wipes. Poof. Where there was a stain...it's completely disappeared. Works on your clothes (including dry clean only), carpet, etc. I got some black stuff smeared across my new canvas bag and I thought it might be stained for good. Nope. One Shout wipe and its as good as new. Five big stars for Shout Wipes. Pick up a travel pack of four at Target (next to all the little bottles of shampoo) and give it a try. If you're half the slob I am, you just may decide to invest $20 in the big mondo pack of 80. S C Johnson I'm a fan. Just don't get any of that nasty smelly Glade crap near me. read more

ziploc brand totaly sucks big time. I wasted $3.84 for a box of 15 pieces of supposedly gallon size heavy duty freezer bags upc code: 025700003892 They are totaly GARBAGE!!! They in no way hold a USA Gallon. A USA Gallon = 128 ounces (unless they went to a chicago public school). The ziplock is grossly difficult to secure and does not stay closed. (Boulder brand cheap stuff from Aldis holds twice as much and seals better). I borrowed some Boulder brand bags from my nephew to get the job done. Creaps at S. C. Johnson do not even know what an answering machine is because they do not want to hear about the crap they are selling. I will never buy their GARBAGE again. Gave them one star because yelp does not allow minus five stars. Thats how bad this crap really is. PERIOD... YEAH! I found a good one. Hefty Slider. Best bag out there... read more
