Frank Lloyd Wright's Skyscrapper

Bartlesville, Oklahoma home of the only Frank Lloyd Wright skyscraper in the world, it also happens to be my hotel. The building was originally designed for NYC but due to the stock crash of 1929 it ended up being built here. The Price Family contacted Wright in 1952 on the advice of local architect Bruce Goff. The family wanted to build headquarters for their oil pipeline company. Tonight it is my hotel! It is amazing in its design and style and a testament to the power of oil in this part of the state. The next few days will take me to derricks and pioneer beginnings. They are down home and comfy in this neck of the woods, the mayor shared an after dinner drink with me and filled me in on some local politics. Best part is his job in non- salaried as is all the committeemen, what local politicians not on a payroll? I am going to like it here.
