Title: 1) Price Tower 1954 (1952 - S.355). Frank Lloyd Wright meets with Howard Price, Jr. and Haskell Culwell in his office at Taliesin West.
Description: Haskell Culwell (standing) is pointing out problems on the blueprints that arose during construction. Frank Lloyd Wright is listening, his hand over his chin, deep in thought. Text accompanying five photographs: "Latest Stopper. An 18 story office and apartment building which will cost more per square foot than probably any other such structure ever built is the latest Wright design causing comment. The ‘skyscraper,’ now going up in Bartlesville Okla., for the H. C. Price Co., a pipeline construction firm, is expected to bring so much publicity that it will turn out to be a cheap investment. Basically, the tower is built around four separate, hollow concrete fins set together like a pinwheel. Wright is shown in discussion with Haskell Culwell (standing), the Oklahoma City contractor, and Howard Price, Jr., son of the pipe firms head, as they talk over some problems which arose in the construction. Wright listens to the problems in his office, make some tentative suggestions and hears others, then settles back happily. The building supposedly is a design Wright has had in mind and worked over for 20 years." Hand written on verso: "Frank L. Wright - Roto 54 - 3/14."

Author: John Randal Publishing; Wilkerson & Hughes
Description: Publisher’s description: Price Tower was built between 1952 and 1956 as the only skyscraper designed by Frank Lloyd Wright that was actually built. I remember seeing a model of a mile high building in the Architectural School a Taliesin, Wisconsin when I was 15 years old. Even then, I thought a mile high building was an engineering extreme given the wind loads and amount of structural steel needed fo support a building that could generate income. Price Tower is 221 feet high with 19 stories that symbolize a tree. The floors radiate from the elevator cores like branches. All of the floors are cantilevered out from the core. This design created exterior Curtain Wall design where no columns intruded into the outward view from inside the building... Original list price $6.95.

The tubes in the apartments were trimmed in the center of the edges. While the office shelves were trimmed on the center edges, the desks and tables were trimmed on the top edge. The furniture trim in Harold Prices’ office was more elaborate and decorative. Desks and tables came in a variety of sizes and shapes. The typing table we acquired has slightly different measurement.

Harold Price Sr. Residence, Paradise Valley, Ariz, (1954 - S.378). Set of 19 images photographed in 2004. Designed in 1954 as a summer home, and given the name "Grandma’s House." After Harold Price’s death on January 28, 1962, the home was sold to U-Haul company president, Sam Shoen. The Shoen’s formed U-Haul in 1945. When they planned on relocation the headquarters to Phoenix, Arizona, Sam’s first step was purchasing a home for his large family. He purchased the Price Residence in 1964. It remained in the family as a private home for three generations. In 1997, U-haul Corporation set up U-Haul House, which eventually formed the Price House Foundation with the purpose of preserving the Harold C. Price Sr. House. On April 26, 2004, we had the opportunity to view the Price Residence from a distance. In an effort to expedite adding these photographs to this website, we have dispensed with a description for each photograph. Set of 19 images photographed by Douglas M. Steiner on April 26, 2004.
