A unique sight to see! I am a fan of Frank Lloyd and this building has his name all over it! (Literally, there are plaques and signs) The cantilevered copper canopy with the observation deck, stepped cement blocks, and use of iconic Cherokee red flooring are absolutely beautiful! I highly recommend the drive just to check out this historical gem! read more

My father and grandfather owned and operated an Apco gas station in Estherville Iowa for many years. Gayle will tell you that when we travel, I'm prone to point out a property and state that it used to be a gas station, or look at a building and guess which brand designed it. As an example, some old Shell stations are easy to spot. So when my Brother suggested with stop at the gas station that was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, I was all ears. Plus, we really did need to fill up the car (on the way to Ely MN) and take a comfort break. The Best Service Station itself was very non assuming, and it appeared to have an active car service bays. Bathrooms were upstairs behind some sort of cool "lounge" area, and the nice attendant was more than happy to fill our tank. And for a modest price, I purchased a nice branded coffee cup to remind of this cool little bit of architecture hidden within this small Midwest town. read more

The visually arresting architectural design is worth a stop and a long look. You can even buy gasoline and diesel fuel here. Your only souvenirs will be photos, though. (I can't speak to the automotive garage's services.) read more

Nice service station! We needed a propane bottle filled so we stopped in. Service was fast and friendly. We were in and out in about 5 minutes with our tank filled. Fast service, fair price. Nice! read more

We were driving up to Ely and out car started shaking going over 40 mph. We pulled into the shop an hour before they closed and within an hour they found the problem and fixed it! We are so grateful for them being willing to fix our car and get us back on the road! The price to fix our car was extremely reasonable and we were so happy they were able to help us out! So grateful for them and their willingness to help us out in a pinch! read more

While traveling from Hibbing to Duluth we stopped to see this gas station designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. It immediately transports you back in time and is definitely worth stopping. Very memorable. Loved it! We toured Taliesin a few days later and loved it too. Learning a lot about FLW on this trip and while I wasn't a huge fan before, I now have a new found admiration for him. read more

Per Wikipedia, The R. W. Lindholm Service Station is a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed service station located at 202 Cloquet Avenue in Cloquet, Minnesota. The station, which was built in 1958 and is still in use, is the only filling station designed by Wright. It was originally part of Wright's utopian Broadacre City plan and is one of the few designs from that plan which was actually implemented. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Definitely fun to snap a picture when you are driving by! read more

This is a good old fashioned service station where you can stop by and talk about what's going on with your car and they will take a look right then and there. Nothing fancy, just quality service at VERY affordable prices. read more
