I recently had an opportunity to visit the very small town of Livingston Montana and came across this very interesting building. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of Interior, this use to be a local radio station - KPRK.
Sign outside the Radio stations reads:
World War II put a damper on the grown of radio broadcasting by freezing expansion of existing stations and disallowing the licensing of new stations. When the freeze finally lifted, KPRK Radio in Livingston was one fo the first new post war stations to sing on in Montana. At 8:00pm on January 9th, 1947, more than twenty prominent local residents representing a broad spectrum of interests participated in the opening ceremonies with organizer/ower Pual McAdam and general manager Walter Carle. KPRK's new facility was completed in time for the premier broadcast. Missoulat architect William Fox designed the futeristic Art Moderne style station in 1946 to contrast with the town's many turn-of-the-centruy brick buildings and affirm Livningston's connection with the latest technology. Its streamlined presence reflets the era's appreciation for technological progress. Horizontal banding, a rounded vestibule and glass blocks highlight the striking facade while a whimsical radio tower in miniature crowns the entry. KPRK's stylized call letters accented by lightning bolts were prominently featured on the front. Jack Hinman joined the station two weeks after its opening. Hinman, a familiar voice to Livingston residents, owened KPRK from 1963 until his death in 1977. His widow, Roberta, stold the station in 1978 to veteran Montana broadcaster Bill Holter whose daughter, Jann, became owner-operator in 1985. Still broadcasting under the same call letters on its original 1340 AM frequency, KPRK Radio continues to perfrom a service vital to a well informed communtiy from its longtime home.
I hope you enjoy the pictures.
