Located on the shore of Meadow Lake in the village of Wind Point, just north of Racine, Wisconsin, The Council House was designed by Wisconsin architect, Robert G. Wirth, to fit agreeably with its five acre country site. The building, completed in the spring of 1979, displays an architectural style of distinction and integrity that inspires remembrances of historic Wisconsin architectural forms.
"The decision of Sam Johnson and the Johnson Wax Board of Directors to place serious art in The Council House, and more important, to relate it to the homelands of those who will use the building, was the kind of inspiration that confirms the Johnson Company's image of human concern."
