Wright Tower

Wright Tower, located in suburban Louisville, Kentucky, is a striking 15-story office building that showcases the architectural influence of Frank Lloyd Wright through his protégé, William Wesley Peters. Opened in 1966, the building features a unique cantilevered design and a suspended lacework facade, reminiscent of traditional Mughal architecture. Originally serving as the headquarters for Lincoln Income Life Insurance Company, it has undergone several renovations and was recently renamed in 2023 to honor Wright's legacy. Visitors can enjoy the building's distinctive features, including stained glass windows and an exterior glass elevator, as well as dining at the Ruth's Chris Steak House on the top floor. The adjacent Plaza at Wright Tower serves as an event venue, making it a notable destination for both tourists and researchers interested in modernist architecture.
