This is the Price Tower by Frank Lloyd Wright in Bartlesville, OK. It is his only existing skyscraper and was completed in 1956. Price called it
"the tree that escaped the crowded forest," due to its appearance and design, which features four elevator shafts anchored by a deep central foundation. The tower was built for multiple uses, and currently has an art museum on the lower sections and apartments near the top. Whenever I am in my hometown I drive by it all the time. It is always enjoyable to see, with its color and shape a nice break from seeing the typical office buildings of downtown Bartlesville.
