Monona Terrace
Monona Terrace is a convention center on the shores of Lake Monona in Madison, Wisconsin. Originally designed by Wisconsin native Frank Lloyd Wright, it was first proposed by Wright in 1938. The county board rejected the plan by a single vote.
Wright would continue to seek support for the plan (and alter its design) until his death in 1959.
From the roof of Monona Terrace, one can see views of downtown Madison, including the Capitol & a panoramic view of Lake Monona. The facility hosts over 600 conventions, meetings and weddings each year that result in an average of $52 million in revenue.
