Sculpture in front of jazz museum
Frank Lloyd Wright Design
Price Tower National Historic Landmark Plaque
Signature of Frank Lloyd Wright
The Price Tower
This morning we woke up late, too late for breakfast. So we hurried out of the hotel so we could see the Price Tower Art Center. Frank Lloyd Wright's only skyscraper. The walls were lined with metal with patina, to create a bluish green color. The floors, walls and ceilings were covered in triangles, and other shapes created from them. The building was mostly red, which was Wright's signature color. The whole building was supposed to be like a tree. The elevators were around the size of a squirrel hole. The building was designed for New York, but they built it in Bartlesville, OK. Originally it had offices, apartments, and retail stores. Now it is a hotel, a small art museum, and a tourist spot. After that, we drove by the the Jazz museum in Kansas City, but didn't go in. Before driving to our hotel, we had dinner at the Rosedale BAR•B•Q. (Yes, Rosedale.) We took a swim on our last night on the trip. Tomorrow: HOME!
