Description: The gas station designed by Frank Lloyd Wright is the R. W. Lindholm Service Station, also known as the "Frank Lloyd Wright Gas Station," located in Cloquet, Minnesota. This unique structure was built in 1956 and is one of the few gas stations designed by the renowned American architect. The R. W. Lindholm Service Station is characterized by its distinctive cantilevered canopy, angular roofline, and geometric forms, all of which reflect Wright's signature organic architecture style. The station's design emphasizes harmony with its natural surroundings, featuring materials such as stone, glass, and copper that blend seamlessly with the landscape. While the gas station no longer operates as a service station, it has been meticulously preserved and restored, serving as a testament to Wright's innovative design principles and lasting legacy. Today, the R. W. Lindholm Service Station is a popular tourist attraction and a celebrated example of Wright's contributions to modern architecture.
