Richard Lloyd Jones was a prominent journalist and publisher in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was the founder and publisher of the Tulsa Tribune, and he was also a successful businessman and investor. In 1929, Jones commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design a house for him and his wife, Georgia. The house, which was named Westhope, was built using textile concrete blocks and is located on South Birmingham Avenue in Tulsa.

The house is currently for sale for $4.5 million. View the property listing.

Westhope was a controversial house when it was first built. Some people criticized its design, but Jones was proud of his home. He said that Westhope was “a work of art” and that it was “a symbol of Tulsa’s future.” The interior of the house is spacious and airy, and it features large windows that let in plenty of natural light.
