Price Tower
The Price Tower is a nineteen-story, 221-foot-high (67 m) skyscraper at 510 South Dewey Avenue in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, United States. One of the few high-rises designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the Price Tower is derived from a 1929 proposal for a group of apartment buildings in New York City.
The Price Company enjoyed the time they owned and occupied the Price Tower and the Price family continued to operate the company and work in the tower until 1981, when the company relocated to Dallas, Texas. The Phillips Petroleum Company then owned the building for a number of years using it for office space, and off-site storage.
