[1] Designed by William Wesley Peters, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, the building is notable for its cantilevered structure and its suspended lacework facade.

This striking, innovative skyscraper had been commissioned also in 1946 for downtown Dallas, Texas, by oil tycoon Rogers Lacy but was never built due to his untimely death.

Like the Calico Mills design, the Wright Tower, when occupied at night, is reminiscent of a Japanese lantern with inside lighting illuminating the grillwork with a soft, yellow glow.

During the month of December in the 1970s and early 1980s, transparent color gels were placed on the inside of the windows to form large seasonal symbols when the office lights were left on.

McKee was chosen partly due to his skillful erection of the Wright-designed Grady Gammage Memorial Auditorium in Tempe, Arizona which had been completed a year earlier.

After purchasing the tower, Kaden contracted Louisville's Grossman Chapman Klarer Architects and invested $2 million in a renovation of the property.
