This is a sketch of the H.C Price Company Tower by Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright sketched and worked on the building's construction in his later years (the 1950s). I saw this sketch in a book, The Drawings of Frank Lloyd Wright by Arthur Drexler. I just thought it was really interesting and a unique piece of work to consider in Wright's life since the Price Tower is the only recognized skyscraper attributed to his work. It's pretty amazing how a sketch could be so detailed, and how this simple drawing on a piece of paper translated into an entire huge building.
