In this episode, we dive into an extraordinary property located in Bartlesville, Oklahoma—a 19-story office building designed by the iconic architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Known for his innovative designs, Wright’s influence is evident in this 1956 building, standing tall at 50,000 square feet. It's a unique mix of art deco and mid-century modern styles, reminiscent of a Manhattan skyscraper, though it sits in the heart of America’s plains.
Originally commissioned by oil magnate Harold C. Price, this architectural marvel is a striking oddity in Bartlesville, constructed during the mid-20th century boom. The tower’s small office floor plans pose both challenges and opportunities for future adaptive reuse—whether as an art center, residential condos, or even a unique museum.
Join us as we discuss the potential of this historical gem and brainstorm creative ways to revitalize such an incredible structure.Advertise with us by clicking here
