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.

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.

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.

Price Tower (1952-56) in Bartlesville, OK, USA, by Frank Lloyd Wright

I think that this cute 1907 is a bargain. It’s in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, has 3bd  4ba and is listed for only $105K. It needs some cosmetic work and paint, but it has the coolest painted floors. See what you think:

There’s a huge living room with a fireplace and there’s the first painted carpet on the floor- I love painted floors and whoever did these carpets did a beautiful job.

Isn’t this lovely? Look at the detail and the “fringe.” There’re also some nice built-in shelves around the windows.

Unfortunately, it looks like they painted around furniture in this room, exposing a former mural. I think that this is the dining room, by the corner cabinet. But, note that there’s another painted rug. 

In this bedroom, there’s a faux stone floor. It looks there may be pocket doors, as well. 

The stripes in this bathroom are handpainted on the wall. There’s a walk-in closet off the shower room. 

The huge kitchen has cute cabinets and backsplash. There’s a half bath off the kitchen.

Look, they even painted the fan to match. 

This house is pretty big for the price, too. This next room looks like a family room.

This might be a pantry, but it looks like the current owners are in the process of putting a fresh coat of paint in that other room.

This room is very cute. They painted bricks in the fireplace and scatter rugs on the floor. 

It looks like they may be repainting this room, too. This is a very large room.

This back room has lots of storage. Looks like there may have been a washer & dryer in here. 

This vintage full bath is nice and also has a painted rug.

One of the upstairs bedrooms has large closets.

This bedroom also need some touch up. Again it looks like they painted around furniture. There’s a nice shelf that goes around the room. Would be good for books, display, or stuff.

The yard is nice and big, it has a shed, and nice little deck.

Do you remember that scary, OMG-we're-going-to-get-mowed-down-by-a-dozen-long-track-tornados! day back on May 6? I was on my perch, the parking garage filled to overflowing with cars, as it tends to be on such days, and so was Arianna.

She's a Ph.D. meteorology student and a regular up top on storm days. We've had many chats over the past couple of years, and I've even taken her photo during a former daily project.

This particular evening, tho, she was less sky watching and more working on a presentation that was due the following day. She sat in that spot (waiting on storms that never came*) and worked for hours. She was still there when I finally left, declining a proffered ride home even though her car was covered in blankets a few blocks away. She feels safe at the parking garage, which I get. It's a formidable structure with a perfect makeshift observation post.

I haven’t seen her since. I’m assuming the presentation went well.

*It ended up relatively quiet in Norman that evening, but obscenely late night Barnsdell and Bartlesville got hit by an EF-4 that ultimately resulted in people dying.
