The Story of the Tower: The Tree that Escaped the Crowded Forest

The Price Tower in Bartlesville, Oklahoma is an innovative building that changed the horizon of the Oklahoma prairie and the world of architecture. The tower was constructed for the H.C. Price Company as its world headquarters. The Price Tower is Frank Lloyd Wright's only realized skyscraper. Wright took his inspiration for the cantilevered design from a tree. In fact, the Price Tower has been called the tree that escaped the crowded forest. Wright wrote this book, The Story of the Tower, documenting the Price Tower and its construction.
