Masonic Temple, Laramie, WY
Masonic Temple, 401 East Ivinson Avenue, Laramie, Wyoming. Built in the Greek Revival style with classic low pitch roof and front pediment, this building was designed in 1911 by Wilbur A. Hitchcock and constructed by W.H. Holliday and Company. The Greek Revival style, which includes such national icons as the U.S. Capitol Building, had largely fallen out of style by the 1850s throughout most of the rest of the world. The yellow coloration and bright highlights of the building are true to the later years of the movement when mimicry of the Greek polychrome decorative style became popular.
