These 2 sets of hardware come from a large private doctors office in Whitefish Montana designed by the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1958 for T. Wright died in 1959 before the 5,000-square-foot building, which became known as the Lockridge Medical Clinic, was finished. First State Bank moved into the building in 1964 and it was divided into professional offices in 1980, that is when our company was working there and removed 2 origional doors during that remodel. These were taken from a large office door and interior closet set. The doors were extremly heavy and later used as work benches. Sacrilege I know now but at least we hung onto the brass. They sat on a shelf since 1980 in the back shop collecting dust untill we read about the demolition of the building. These have been oiled baked and wiped dry. In the light most of the time it has a green sheen and in others it looks black. These are very heavy cast brass sets, not pressed metal but true cast hardware. The exterior office door knob is 2.5 inches where all the interior knobs are 2 inches. This building sadly is slated for demolition this month here in Montana. Please do look up its history, truly a sad end to one of Wright’s final projects. Ask any questions you have and I will answer ASAP. Included but not photographed is the spindle mounting hardware and mortise lock sets and screws.
