Since its opening on April 22, 1939, the SC Johnson Wax Administration Building has been a
"mecca" for tourists, architects and Frank Lloyd Wright devotees from around the
world. Today the building remains in use as the international headquarters for SC Johnson
Wax.
The bricks used in
the building are unusual in that more than 200 sizes and shapes of brick were made to form
the angles and curves used by Wright. Even their color, Cherokee Red, was specified by
Wright.

The
Great Workroom, which covers nearly one-half acre, is the main office area. Though it has
many unique features, two of the most prominent are the slim dendriform columns that
support the roof, and glass tubing which replaces conventional windows. |
