The Harold Price, Sr. Residence

I paid a “Drive-by” visit to this house on the afternoon of January 4, 2024, during my visit to the Phoenix area. I was disappointed with the views and photographs my visit afforded, since it was not possible to get very close to this residence.  I did the best I could, but did not really get a good sense of what this house was all about.  But, Douglas M. Steiner’s site, The Wright Library, includes a study of the Price Sr. House that includes over 250 photos, both interior and exterior.  From the photos, it is apparent that this home contains a lot of unique features, but, in this humble writer’s opinion, the preponderance of  rough gray blocks in the interior spaces does not do the design justice.  Here are some of the photos I took that afternoon.   

THE ATRIUM LINKS THE TWO WINGS OF THE PRICE SR. RESIDENCE.

I TOOK THIS PHOTO FROM THE STREET ABOVE ON THE HILL BEHIND THE PRICE SR. RESIDENCE. IN THE CENTER OF THIS PHOTO IS THE LARGE MOTOR COURT.
ONE FINAL PHOTO OF THE PRICE SR. RESIDENCE. I WOULD ENJOY SEEING THE INSIDE OF THIS HOME, ESPECIALLY THE MURALS IN THE ATRIUM, DONE BY WRIGHT'S ASSISTANT, EUGENE MASSELINK.
