Badger Building, Prairie School office building in Racine, United States.
The four-story brick and concrete Badger Building features horizontal lines and wide eaves characteristic of Prairie School architectural principles at 610 Main Street.
Constructed in 1915 for the Tidyman Candy Company at a cost of $55,000, the building served as an American Red Cross facility during World War I.
Edmund Bailey Funston designed this structure during a period when Prairie School architecture influenced commercial buildings throughout the American Midwest region.
The building houses various professional offices and an optical boutique, with renovations planned to restore the front facade to its 1915 appearance by 2025.
The Badger Building maintains its original architectural elements while adapting to modern uses under continuous family ownership since 1964.
