Road Tripping Pt XII

The Price Tower is a nineteen-story, 221-foot-high tower in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. It was built in 1956 to a design by Frank Lloyd Wright. It is the only realized skyscraper by Wright. It was commissioned by Harold Price, for use as corporate headquarters for his oil and chemical company. In 2000 the building was donated to Price Tower Arts Center, and it has multi-use tenants. Price Tower Arts Center, a museum of art, architecture, and design; Inn at Price Tower; Copper Restaurant + Bar, and the Wright Place museum store. This is our next destination along the road. We headed out from Amarillo following Old Route 66, stopping in towns like Shamrock, Texas; Elk City, Oklahoma; Clinton, Oklahoma; and Bridgeport, Oklahoma. Once we arrived in Bartlesville, we checked into the hotel, then headed out to grab a bite to eat and explore the town.
