Unlike many Wright buildings that I've enjoyed searching out over the years, the Price Tower stands out in the landscape and is easy to find. It ranks high on my list of favorite Wright buildings next to
Fallingwater,
Taliesin East and
Taliesin West.
I may write more later, but I wanted to get the photographs posted.
All photographs were taken in the late afternoon.
The view from across the street with the sun in the background.
The entryway to the building. It houses a museum as well as a hotel.
Looking up the building. The fire escape is on the left side of the photograph.
The antenna on top of the building.
Some details as viewed from the ground.
The supports for the parking carport in front of the building.
These reminded me of the supports that I saw at
Florida Southern College.
The Walt Whitman inscription inside the building.
The Price Tower has the Shin'En Kan Gate by Bruce Goff on display.
If you'd like to learn more about Bruce Goff the following links may be useful:
There is a booklet available (~ $18) from the
Price Tower Arts Center Free Thought: The Art and Architecture of Bruce Goff that includes a listing and map of Bruce Goff designed homes in the Bartlesville area. If you happen to be touring and take photographs I would welcome the chance to start a Bruce Goff gallery.
