Although the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy did their best to protect the Lockridge Medical Clinic building in Montana, it was demolished on the 10th of January, late at night. Situated in the city of Whitefish, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was designed, back in 1958, by the world-famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright and was constructed a year later. The design featured a single-story clinic building with a soaring central ceiling that let in plenty of natural light. Bricks were used all over its interior and exterior.

Interestingly, the Lockridge Medical Clinic building is the first usable Wright building to be torn down in more than four decades. However, it was no surprise as the owner first revealed plans to demolish the building in November 2016. Later on, in 2018, he agreed not to demolish it, only under one condition; if a buyer can be found maximum by Wednesday 10th of January 2018.
According to Barbara Gordon from the Save Wright Foundation (FLWBC), this condition left them panicking and looking for someone who can save the building at the last minute.
