The Gamble-Robinson Company Warehouse is a warehouse at 302 E. Main St. in Lewistown, Fergus County, Montana, built in 1922 in the Panel Brick, Early 20th Century Commercial style. It was listed in the National Register in 2017.
Why it's listed
It was listed under criteria A and C, with local significance in commerce, transportation and community planning and development, spanning 1922, when the warehouse was built, to 1951, when Gamble-Robinson Co. sold it to Charles W. and Thelma Cooley.
Physical character
The 40 by 90 foot warehouse has brick walls on a concrete foundation, a flat roof behind a stepped, corbelled parapet, and dark decorative brick laid in running bond. Paired one-over-one wood sashes and an original freight elevator rising to a penthouse remain, above a full basement and hardwood floors. A rear corrugated metal addition was built during the building's years as a ranch supply store and feed mill.
Historical context
Gamble-Robinson Co. took over the Lewistown Commission Co., established in 1911, in 1916; three years later, in 1919, David F. Gamble decided to buy the site for a new warehouse. Central Feed Company bought the property around 1967 and operated there until Westfeeds ceased business around 2014, and it was vacant when listed.
