 | Frank Lloyd Wright's Price Tower was his pioneering experiment in the multi-use
skyscraper: a tall, slim, richly detailed structure whose purpose was to combine
business offices, retail and apartments.
Today, Price Tower Arts Center
continues to follow Wright's original design intent by offering a variety of
opportunities for guests to learn from and interact with one of the master's
greatest achievements.

Midwestern oil industry, originally running a filling station outside
Indianapolis. |

 | The Bartlesville Community Center is a unique
structure in downtown Bartlesville at the corner of Adams Boulevard and Cherokee
Avenue. William Wesley Peters, chief architect of Taliesin and Vice President of
The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, designed the Center. The design emphasizes
the use of sweeping curves, circles, ovals and acute and obtuse angles; right
angles are avoided. Mrs. Wright selected most of the interior decor.
