1 contributing building.Also known as:
Lockridge Medical Clinic was a building in Whitefish, Montana, United States, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in the Prairie style. Built as a medical clinic in 1963, the building served a variety of other commercial purposes before it was demolished by its owners in 2018.
Before its demolition, it was one of three Wright-designed structures in the state of Montana. He had previously designed the Bitter Root Inn in Stevensville, which burned down in 1924, and the Como Orchards Summer Colony complex in Darby, of which only two small cottages survive. When the clinic building was demolished in 2018, it became the first of Wright's intact non-residential buildings to be intentionally destroyed since the Francisco Terrace apartment complex in Chicago was torn down in 1974, and the first of any kind since the W.S. Carr House in Grand Beach, Michigan was demolished in 2004.
