State Capitol, Cheyenne Wyoming

 

This is the State Capitol building in Cheyenne, Wyoming.  While I didn't realize it at the time that I took this photograph, the State Capitol contains a courtroom which was used by the Wyoming Supreme Court up until it had a courthouse of its own.  The courtroom is soon to be restored.

 
State Capitol as viewed from the street.  The current Wyoming Supreme Court building would be off to the right in this photograph.

City and County Building, Cheyenne Wyoming


This is the old City and County Building in Cheyenne Wyoming which, at one time, housed all of the offices of the City of Cheyenne and Laramie County, including the courts.


This building has been partially replaced by the Laramie County Government Complex, which physically adjoins it.


This Federal style Classical Revival building was built completed in 1919.  A better view of the building would be from its front, rather than the sides as depicted, which would show its classic columns, but under the constraints of time when this photograph was taken, that couldn't be done.

Joseph C. O'Mahoney Federal Courthouse, Cheyenne Wyoming


This poor photograph depicts the Joseph C. O'Mahoney Federal Courthouse in Cheyenne. This is the central Federal Courthouse for the District of Wyoming. This modern office style building contains several courtrooms within it.

This photograph depicts the building from its front, which is not how it is normally photographed. The photograph is a poor one. The building was built in 1965 and is located across an intersection from the Wyoming Supreme Court. Observant viewers will note that it is also across the street from Cathedral Square, which is the block upon which the Catholic Cathedral, St. Mary's Cathedral, is located. On the right hand of the photo you can see the First Presbyterian Church which is across the street from the courthouse. The Wyoming State Capitol is a block away.
