All Glass, No Steel

Here's a Monday morning blast-from-the-past! I found a website where old articles from a magazine called Modern Mechanix are posted. The one that caught my eye was from June 1930 and was titled: "First All-Glass Building Soon To Rise in City of New York" designed by none other than Frank Lloyd Wright.

Unique in several ways, the most intriguing was the claim that it was to have no structural steel. With a claim like that, it's probably no surprise it wasn't built. However, many of the ideas incorporated in this glass building look like they could be forerunners to what would become the Price Tower in Bartlesville, OK.
