As the story goes, legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright was enduring a bit of a career slump in the late 1920s when his cousin, Tulsa Tribune publisher Richard Lloyd Jones, asked him to create a home for him on what was then the southern outskirts of Tulsa. One of only three Wright-designed structures in Oklahoma — including the Price Tower and Harold Price Jr. house — the textile block residence was built at a total cost of more than $100,000, or $60,000 over the original estimate.
Last sold to Tulsa developer Stuart Price of Price Family Properties for $2.5 million in October 2021 — and subsequently restored and modernized, complete with extensive tweaks to the exterior, glasswork and landscaping — the notable property has again popped up on the market, this time asking a speck under $8 million. The sale was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
“This home is truly a piece of art,” says listing agent Rob Allen of Sage Sotheby’s International Realty. “In addition to being one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s largest works, it is his only textile block home outside of California — where they have garnered some of his highest prices.”
