The Price Tower, a nineteen-story glass and copper skyscraper, is the tallest building designed and built by Frank Lloyd Wright. The Price Tower was built for H. C. Price of Price Pipeline as a combination office space and apartments. It was completed in 1956. Wright called it his “tree that escaped the crowded forest”. The entire design is based on a diamond module of 30 and 60 degree triangles. All floors and walls are supported solely by four interior columns. There is an Art Center, a Gallery, and Hotel currently housed in the building. Price Tower is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In addition, it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2007.
