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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Early concept for the Harold Price Jr. house in Bartlesville, Oklahoma (1953) by Frank Lloyd Wright.

This concept is based on Wright's unexecuted scheme for the Ralph Jester house from 1938. Wright proposed variations on this design for many different clients in multiple contexts over the next 20 years, but in the end no client ever accepted such a scheme.

NEW FROM FINISHING LINE PRESS: 10 Hours to Tulsa by Shelley Nation

On SALE now! Pre-order Price Guarantee: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/10-hours-to-tulsa-by-shelley-nation/

Shelley Nation shares her life experiences growing up in #Tulsa, Oklahoma through her engaging prose. From specific events to the words and thoughts of her family and friends, Shelley takes us on a journey of one child’s memories.

Shelley Nation was the co-host of one of Chicago’s longest running #poetry talk shows, Wordslingers, which aired on WLUW FM from Loyola University, from 1999 to 2009. She has been writing and performing poetry in the Chicago area since 1988, and has hosted several poetry venues over the years. She has been published in many poetry journals including Wisconsin Review, The Dead Mule School of Southern Literature, The RavenPerch, Copperfield Review Quarterly, among others. Shelley has been a teacher and counselor in Chicago for the past 31 years and holds two Master’s Degrees in education. Shelley is a citizen of the #Cherokee #Nation of #Oklahoma and has recently begun to write about the experience of her grandmother and other members of her family as they lived through their struggles in Cherokee Nation territory, from Tennessee and Alabama to the Canadian District in Indian Territory/Oklahoma.

PRAISE FOR 10 Hours to Tulsa by Shelley Nation

In 10 Hours to Tulsa, Nation-Watson revisits growing up in Tulsa, a Hank Williams/Jerry Falwell/Step-parent/belt buckle place where the speaker clearly states “I don’t belong.” With the river as a “wasteland for memories” and home being “an idea far removed from her dream,” Nation-Watson renders sharp portraits of the people and places that formed a life, one that the speaker can remember and yet “keep driving.”

–Donna Vorreyer, the author of three full-length collections of poetry: To Everything There Is(Sundress Publications, 2020),Every Love Story is an Apocalypse Story (Sundress Publications, 2016), and A House of Many Windows (Sundress Publications, 2013)

“Poet Shelley Nation‘s chapbook10 Hours to Tulsa invites the reader on a road trip towards her beginnings. People and places are sketched in spare lines. Yet, these are lyric poems, not narrative. The use of inventive wordplay, shifting rhythms, and the persona form charge the personal imagery with emotional resonance. She asks what feelings from memories or dreams still connect to this place and these people, and how those feelings have changed and shifted. There’s heartbreak and humor, but no unearned sentiment — as if Patsy Cline had ever met up with Joy Harjo over a bourbon, neat.”

—Chicago poet Elizabeth Marino is the author of Asylum (Vagabond, 2020), the chapbook Ceremonies (dancing girl press) and Debris (Puddin’head Press), and a Pushcart Prize nominee.

In her stellar chapbook 10 Hours to Tulsa, Shelley Nation, a long-time, familiar presence in the Chicago poetry scene, reconnects with her Indigenous roots on the page, as well as in the flesh, having returned to her native Oklahoma. It’s apropos then, that these poems feel like a kind of personal guidebook to survival. With these vivid and detailed portraits, including “Uncle Harold,” “The Trailer Next Door,” “Reuben,” “A Friend from Bartlesville Comes to Visit,” “Everclear,” and “Unmentionables,” Nation has deftly created what amounts to a literary art gallery.

–Gregg Shapiro, author of Refrain in Light

Shelley Nation offers readers her bitter Oklahoma accounts of growing up inside a dysfunctional home where her soul’s refuge was to engage in adult imaginings which made it possible to escape with the assistance of the same potions and positions that bled into agony. Her solace was in her power to play and disguise herself while alone or with a confidant neighbor girl. Nation’s narrator is pulled by two huge magnets of her mother’s incendiary screams and father’s inebriated neglect and regrets. I was totally captivated by the poem “Uncle Harold” its tone and cadence captured in the character’s approach to a grand capricious life in a language worthy of a short film. There’s some familial trauma similar to what poets Sharon Olds and Sylvia Plath would have recognized, but Nation’s take is grittier and more country.

–Carlos Cumpian, author of Human Cicada (Prickly Pear Publishing)

10 hours to Tulsa is a crafty set of poetry that conjures up a working class, wrangler jean wearing, cowboy-booted Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz who drinks her whiskey straight and steals the cigarette from you after you light it. Not quite romanticized but lived experiences that feel as real as lipstick left on the rim of a glass.

–Andrea Change – Executive Director of Chicago’s Guild Literary Complex
