Description
The only functioning gas station ever designed and built by Frank Lloyd Wright, known as America’s greatest architect, is located in Cloquet, Minnesota.
He first began working on a design for a standard prefabricated gas station in the 1920s. It was his hope to eliminate the frequent “eyesores” lining American highways and to develop a facility that would offer a variety of customer services in addition to the sale of fuel. Wright further expanded on this idea with a gas station design that he did in 1934 for his utopian Broadacre City project.
