Matt's Place Drive-In
Location: Butte, Montana Coordinates: 45°59′30″N 112°32′18″W / 45.99167°N 112.53833°WCoordinates: 45°59′30″N 112°32′18″W / 45.99167°N 112.53833°W Built: 1930 Architectural style: Bungalow/Craftsman Governing body: Private NRHP Reference#: 01000308 Added to NRHP: March 29, 2001[1] Matt's Place Drive-In in Butte, Montana is one of the first drive-in restaurant in Montana. Unlike later drive-ins, which frequently featured a streamline moderne style, or at least an acknowledgement of their orientation to automobile-oriented customers, Matt's Place was a straighforward conversion of a house to serve customers in cars. Established in 1930, its chief concession to the automobile is a tall curb to keep parking cars from hitting the building and a menu on the outside of the building, advertising curb service. The interior retains its 1936 counter and 1950s lighting fixtures.[2]
