Price Tower, Bartlesville, Oklahoma (1952-1956)

The Price Tower is a nineteen-story, 221-foot-high tower built in 1956 and designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

It is the only realized skyscraper by Wright, and is one of only two vertically oriented Wright structures extant; the other is the S.C. Johnson Wax Research Tower in Racine, Wisconsin.

The Price Tower was commissioned by Harold C. Price of the H. C. Price Company, a local oil pipeline and chemical firm.

It opened to the public in February 1956.

I was born in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. My dad's family comes from Copan, Wann, Claremore and Dewey. We only lived in Bartlesville for a year after I was born, but my heart goes out to everyone in Barnsdall and Bartlesville who are dealing with the aftermath of the tornado. I hope life can get back to "normal" soon.

just finished watching We’re Here S4ep4: Oklahoma pt 1.

I’m conflicted.

going in i knew that it would not be favorable to Bartlesville.

it seemed to be a more tolerant place when i grew up, though still religious and conservative. but progress had been made.

we certainly had 0 pride celebrations back then. so glad that happens now.

i grew up with some of the people who want to ban drag performances. i am so disappointed with them. then again, they also told me that being gay was fine as long as i didn’t make a big deal about it (i.e. don’t signal that you are gay in public or remind them in private; keep it in my bedroom.)

but i’m also angry with the filmmakers. they are assuming instead of listening.

it feels like outsiders coming into a place and acting as if they know better than the locals, or revolutionaries who know what “the People“ need (a la Terry Pratchett).

For instance, they frame it as if there was only 1 gay person in the entire town. (there are plenty of queer people in town.) they scoff at all of the business owners who won’t let them film because the owners are afraid of the backlash. they ignore the request of a local queer group to not film the series in town.

they don’t acknowledge that the locals are concerned with the ongoing safety of their community. the filmmakers want to engineer a feel-good triumphant moment to satisfy their narrative. it is a tv show, after all.

it’s frustrating to watch.

more images of Price Tower. I found these online.

Those metal chairs in the office? They were designed for Price Tower. The hotel was largely unoccupied between 1981 and 2000. Stuff was stolen or destroyed during that time, and the surviving pieces occasionally show up at auctions. One of those chairs sold for $13,750.00.

Multiple websites describe this building as Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece. That is not an overstatement.

Please share this post. Please bring attention to this beautiful part of our nation’s history and culture.

God barnsdall Oklahoma just got hit and I just saw a livestream where the only thing left of a mobile home was the porch and the cinder blocks. Whole house gone. No debris left. If you’re the praying type, keep those people in mind please.

This photograph was taken on May 25, 1940 in the Maire Hotel, now City Hall, of Grady Lewis, Robert Wadlow and Don Lockhard. Robert Wadlow was, at that time, the tallest man in the world. Other members of the National Champion Phillips 66ers Basketball team are looking on.
