Three floors of history.(Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)
Byline: James Auer
RACINE, Wis. _ Sharing is an integral part of the Johnson family's guiding philosophy and traditions.
Seldom is this truer than when residents of this lakeshore city have a chance to tour a 106-year-old house that has played a pivotal role in the human side of the S.C. Johnson story.
The three-floor, 10,000-square-foot dwelling, designed in the Classical Revival style by architect Thomas Hay, is the 2004 Racine Art Museum Designer Showcase.
It was built in 1898 by Herbert Fisk Johnson Sr., a key figure in the growth of the family-controlled firm whose products range from brand-name wax polishes to high-end banking services.
In recent weeks, the home's formal, even spartan, interior spaces have been transformed by a cadre of designers.
Their highly individualistic approaches to the project, the first of its kind in Racine, have ranged from puristic to pluralistic, from pleasing simplicity to challenging complexity.
