”’Matt’s Place Drive-In”’ in [[Butte, Montana]] may have been the first [[drive-in restaurant]] in Montana. Unlike later drive-ins, which frequently featured a [[Streamline Moderne|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 1950’s lighting fixtures.<ref name=’nrhpinv2′>{{citation|title={{PDFlink|[http://his.state.mt.us/shpo/register/NRmap/NRbyCo/MattsPlace.pdf Montana State Historic Preservation Office: Matt’s Place]|146 KB}}|date=March 29, 2001|publisher=Montana State Historic Preservation Office}}</ref>
