This amillary sundial is a fitting tribute to the great architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It is located in front of the only skyscraper Wright designed, The Price Tower, in the small northeastern Oklahoma city of Bartlesville. Wright, who believed in designing structures which were in harmony with humanity and its environment, is considered the greatest American architect of all time.
The brass plaque reads:
To
FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT
whose works are for all time and ages
