I've driven by the tower many times but have never been inside. Great photo.
I toured the building in 1970. It is as unique on the inside as it is on the outside.
Weird architecture!
What's the flag floating in front of it?
Zhu - I believe the white flag contains the logo of the CONOCO Oil Company. Conoco and Phillips 66 are both in Bartlesville.
I would not have guessed this was a Frank Lloyd Wright design, but is certainly is a good study in edges and lines. You do a wonderful job with this CPDB blog, Bill. Your photos are superb and your subjects interesting and well written. I'm sorry I don't visit more regularly, but you will understand that I'm a working gal and my time for blogging is limited. Thanks for following me when you can, too.
