 The Golden Rondelle still draws visitors forty
years after its dedication in July, 1967 at the corner of 14th
and Franklin Streets on the southside of Racine, Wisconsin.
Racine, Wisconsin,
home of the S.C.
Johnson Wax company, is a medium sized city located approximately
1 hour north of Chicago and 1/2 hour south of Milwaukee on the
western shores of Lake Michigan.
 If you should be
planning a trip to the Chicago/Milwaukee area and would like
to take a trip to Racine to see the Golden Rondelle, be sure
to phone ahead to make sure the theater is open. The telephone
number for S.C. Johnson Company tours is 1-262-260-2154 or email
Tours@scj.com. You might also consider taking
in the tour of Johnson's Frank Lloyd Wright designed Administrative
Complex -- a beautiful and architecturally important work.
You may click this link to the Golden Rondelle to bring up the theater's
Official Web Site. From there you will be able to view film schedules,
get driving instructions (including a map) to the theater and
read a brief synopsis of the building and its World's Fair history.
