The main floor showcases the products of the companies that comprise the Kohler family of businesses. It features Kohler's own "great wall of china," a floor-to-ceiling display of plumbing fixtures in all shapes, sizes and colors.[1] The lower level features the Kohler Company Museum. Visitors can watch a short film and view displays from the company's establishment in 1873 as a maker of cast iron farm implements. Also in the lower level is an arts gallery developed by the John Michael Kohler Arts Center.
The building was originally used as a recreation hall for Kohler village residents.[2] In 1985, it was transformed into a 36,000-square-foot showcase for the extensive array of Kohler Company products.
