Matt's Place Drive-In in Butte, Montana was one of the first drive-in restaurants in Montana. Unlike later drive-ins, which frequently featured a streamline moderne style, or at least an acknowledgement of their orientation to automobile-oriented customers, Matt's Place was a straightforward 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 1950s lighting fixtures.{{Cite journal|title=Montana State Historic Preservation Office: Matt's Place|url=http://his.state.mt.us/shpo/register/NRmap/NRbyCo/MattsPlace.pdf|date=March 29, 2001|publisher=Montana State Historic Preservation Office}}{{dead link|date=January 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
