I think I saw where that FLW gas station has been demolished. Last time I stopped there was 19 and 82. Also a real neat old wooden bridge in the area. Several 100's of yards long. Cars run on the lower level and trains on the top.

For several years I was a subscriber to the Frank Lloyd Wright Quarterly. The Summer '93 issue has an article on the Lindholm Service Station is Cloquet, Minnesota. Based on the photo, I can agree with Ish's recollection that it's unusual looking. It was built in 1957 when Wright was 90. The article says that a newspaper ad at the time announced "a new exciting service station daringly designed by Frank Lloyd Wright . . . Bring the whole family . . . They'll be amazed at the sensational cantilevered roof, which hangs out in space with no visible means of support; and they'll be excited by the view of the St. Louis River Valley visible from the second story solarium where customers relax while their cars are being serviced."
