Frank Lloyd Wright's Price Tower in downtown Bartlesville has been placed on an online auction site with a starting bid of $600,000.
The 19-story skyscraper was posted on the auction website Ten-X.com Thursday afternoon. The auction is scheduled to officially begin Oct. 7 and run through Oct. 9.
Cynthia Blanchard of Copper Tree, LLC, purchased the Price Tower in 2023 from the nonprofit Price Tower Arts Center. She announced the auction on Tuesday — after facing intense scrutiny with mounting debt, selling irreplaceable artifacts, laying off staff, providing notice to tenants to find other arrangements and closing the doors to the public.
This is a developing story. See below the graphic for previous coverage of the Price Tower.
