Frank Lloyd Wright built Price Tower in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, commissioned by Harold C. Price, founder of H.C. Price Company. Completed in 1956, the 19-story building was based on a design originally conceived for St. Mark?s in the Bowery in New York City, but once built on the prairie, Wright called this skyscraper ?the tree that escaped the crowded forest.? Lavish in its materials and detailing, the Price Tower is Wright?s tallest built project, and takes its place with the celebrated S.C. Johnson Wax Research Tower as one of his two vertical structures. The 221-foot-tall Price Tower is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and as one of the American Institute of Architects? seventeen most significant examples of Frank Lloyd Wright?s architecture. It has also received the AIA?s Twenty-Five Year Award.
