Description

From National Historic Landmarks Form: Built as a headquarters and rented commercial space and apartments for the H.C. Price Company, the Price Tower is nationally significant as one of two completed designs for high-rise buildings during Frank Lloyd Wright's long career, and the only one that might be appropriately termed a "skyscraper." Constructed between 1953 and 1956, it was a striking addition to the urban landscape of Bartlesville, which boomed because of oil beginning in 1897... -- Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS OK-67)
