Just a bit south of Milwaukee on the shore of Lake Michigan lies a little city with huge aspirations. Racine, Wisconsin, “Invention City,” a historical and industrial treasure, finds itself the unlikely beneficiary of great art. Frank Lloyd Wright, the world-renowned and perhaps greatest American architect, created several buildings that excite the city’s architectural scene. The Johnson Wax Headquarters, Wingspread, the Thomas P. Hardy House, and the Keland House are all examples of Wright’s work in Racine. Other buildings of merit not constructed by Wright include the Racine Art Museum and the OS House. Racine also has eight other buildings listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. These structures not only serve to the city’s artistic merit but also to its economic merit. S.C. Johnson and Company, housed the the Wright building, is based out of Racine, as well as J. I. Case, a heavy equipment company. These multinational companies keep Racine’s job market growing, open, and competitive. In addition, malted milk balls were developed in Racine, and the large population of European immigrants have contributed to a lively and diverse food scene— several local bakeries have been featured on the Food Network. Searching for a job should be of little worry in this innovative city. Perhaps connected with the city’s aesthetic appeal, Racine cultivates the arts. The Racine Art Museum has the largest collection of contemporary art, and the city is home to numerous theater companies, visual arts organizations, performance groups, musical organizations, and the like. Local fellowships also award artists for work in a variety of different media. And to top of the architecture, art, and industry, Racine offers beautiful waterfront vistas.
