Price Tower Arts Center is currently seeking individuals and companies who have resided in, rented space or worked in Price Tower any time between 1956 and 1981. The project is in conjunction with the 2006 exhibition Wright Restored: Frank Lloyd Wright's Price Tower Interiors, which celebrated the close of Price Tower's 50th anniversary.
The exhibition displayed work the Arts Center did to preserve, restore, and conserve the top three floors of Price Tower. As a part of those efforts, the Arts Center has begun to supplement the documents and objects pertaining to the H.C. Price Company, currently in their collections, with those of the Tower's other commercial and residential tenants.
The goal of the Arts Center's curatorial team is to work and display memorabilia and recollections of many of the known occupants of the Price Tower, for a better understanding of how the leased spaces in the tower functioned. This will help enhance the visitor experience when taking the historic tower tours and experiencing this landmark destination.
Known tenants of Price Tower included Bruce Goff (perhaps the tower's most recognized tenant), doctors, lawyers, realtors, utilities, communications, and various retail establishments
occupied the lower floors of the Price Tower during its first twenty-five years.
Items such as photographs, stationary, business cards, promotional materials, and written recollections are welcome, and will become part of the archives of Price Tower Arts Center. Items are needed by July 31, 2006, however, the Arts Center welcomes year-round donations relating to Price Tower, the H.C. Price Company and Frank Lloyd Wright.
