The Horlick Malted Milk Company Industrial Complex is a historic factory complex in Racine, Wisconsin, where Horlicks malted milk was produced. Four buildings within the complex are listed: the castle-like Gothic Revival-style factory blocks begun in 1882[2] and 1902,[3] the 1910 engine room building,[4] and the 1916 garage.[5]
The Horlicks complex consisted of fourteen buildings, four of which are included in the National Register listing. The first Horlicks factory building built on the site, designed by James Corse & Sons in 1882, is a three-to-four-story industrial building built in a Gothic Revival style. The building, with cream brick walls typical of southeastern Wisconsin, features a clock tower and turrets which have led the building to become known as "Clock Tower Place" since Horlicks moved out. An addition on the north side of the building dates from 1910.[2] A second factory block was added to the complex in 1902, following the same Gothic Revival design, with a single-story addition designed by John Randal McDonald in 1951.[3] In 1910, a two-to-three-story engine room building was added to the growing complex, with a prominent smokestack and an elevated walkway connecting it to the factory buildings,[4] and a two-story garage was added in 1916.[5]
