201 Goold Street (Racine, Wisconsin)

201 Goold Street is a building in Lakeview Park in Racine, Wisconsin, built to house the Lakeview Community Center in 1970. After the community center closed at the end of 2003, the Belle City Senior Center opened in the building in 2004. The senior center closed at the end of 2011. The building continues to be used for some community functions, and is the polling place for voters in Racine's 10th ward.

History
The Lakeview Community Center was originally located at 2065 North Main Street. The 201 Goold Street building opened to the public on May 26, 1970, the day after the old community center building was demolished, and was dedicated in a ceremony on July 19.

Due to city budget cuts, the Lakeview Community Center closed on December 31, 2003. The nearby Racine Zoo considered opening an educational center in the newly vacant building, while the Friends of Seniors proposed opening the Belle City Senior Center, which opened in the building on June 1, 2004. Friends of Seniors was required to pay only $1 in rent to the city during the senior center's first year, but this was raised to $20,000 by 2007. With declining membership and fewer volunteers, Friends of Seniors could no longer afford to pay $20,000 in rent each year, and closed the Belle City Senior Center at the end of 2011.

On the morning of September 11, 2019, a fire in the building caused an estimated $500,000 in damage and required a firefighter to be hospitalized. The fire took place while the Racine Zoo was using the building to store lanterns for its upcoming Chinese Lantern Festival. A worker for the Lantern Festival caused the fire when a stovetop burner was left attended; no lanterns were damaged in the fire.
