Price TowerBartlesville, Oklahoma - 1952 (S.355)

Unlike many Wright buildings that I've enjoyed searching out over the years, the Price Tower stands out in the landscape and is easy to find. It ranks high on my list of favorite Wright buildings next to Fallingwater, Taliesin East and Taliesin West.

I may write more later, but I wanted to get the photographs posted.

See the official website for the Price Tower for additional information.

There is a book available on the Price Tower: Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Sullivan and the Skyscraper

Bartlesville Community Center, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright's apprentice Wesley Peters, is across the steet from the Price Tower.

See below for information about Bruce Goff, a well known organic-style architect with several buildings in Bartlesville and elsewhere.

All photographs were taken in the late afternoon.

The supports for the parking carport in front of the building.
These reminded me of the supports that I saw at Florida Southern College.
