Price Tower The Price Tower 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. This National Historic Landmark destination serves local, regional and global audiences as an arts complex dedicated to art, architecture and design. Price Tower Arts Center integrates history, a museum, hotel and bar in the heart of downtown Bartlesville.
Frank Phillips Home The Frank Phillips Home, located in Bartlesville, is one of 32 sites and museums owned, staffed, and operated by the Oklahoma Historical Society. It was made available to the public in 1973 when Elizabeth Irwin, granddaughter of Frank and Jane Phillips, presented the home and the Phillips personal belongings to the state of Oklahoma as an historical site. After inheriting the home at the death of Jane, Elizabeth and her family lived in the home for 25 years, but had been careful to preserve the integrity of the home and its contents. Perhaps she understood from the beginning the historical significance of the Phillips legacy. Today, the staff and volunteers at the Frank Phillips Home strive to carry out the OHS mission of preserving and perpetuating the history of Oklahoma and its people, by interpreting and disseminating knowledge of the Phillips family, as well as those persons that played a role in their lives.
