On This Date in Minnesota History: October 31

October 31 - November 2, 1958 – The grand opening of the Lindstrom Phillips 66 gas station designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in Cloquet, Minn., was held on these dates. It is the only gas station that Wright designed.

“The station was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 11, 1985, for its architectural significance.”¹
