I visited Richland Center on the morning of Sunday November 22, 2015. It was a beautiful but cold day; we had just has the first snowstorm of the season in southern Wisconsin on the previous day. I parked by the courthouse and walked around the square taking pictures. Then I headed over to the Frank Lloyd Wright warehouse for more photos. From there I walked back through the business district to the courthouse. It’s a very nice town and the downtown area is very easy to walk around in.

- Frank Lloyd Wright designed the A. D. German warehouse
- The warehouse was completed in 1921. It is Wright’s only building in his hometown.
- Wright was in his early Mayan Revival phase when he designed it.
- In the Richland Center business district.
- The Richland Center Post Office
- On the edge of the business district – it’s a beautiful town.
- I hadn’t realized that the first municipal auditorium in Wisconsin was located in Richland Center.
- It is a striking building and it is still in use.
