Last weekend, I went down to the city of Racine, south of Milwaukee. I happened upon the campus of S.C. Johnson Wax, which was in part designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Very cool looking place. I also found a couple more cool buildings.

Notice the "glass." These are the "windows." They're rows of plexiglass (originally Pyrex) tubing! 28km of it. The tower stands empty. Tours can't even go through, due to fire codes. Apparently, there's only one exit from the seventeen story tower.
It's hard to get a picture of these interesting buildings from outside the complex. Notice how rounded everything is. Even the rectangular building in the foreground has round "corners." Funny, the red brick doesn't look at all familiar. Is it possible I've never seen a color photo of it before?
