A small park is adjacent to the depot on the north, and directly east of the depot is a large parking lot. Situated within the commercial-industrial district of the town of Riverton, the Chicago and North Western depot is a historic landmark that contrasts with structures which surround it the A. D« Martin Lumber Company and the Tomahawk Motel to the north across Main Street., the American National Bank to the east across First Street, a Pepsi Cola distributing company just a few yards south on the same block, and an abandoned gasoline station to the west across the railroad tracks. The depot is a one story, frame structure clad with drop siding, its dimensions 140 feet in length by 22'4" in width. A rectangular projection located midway along its west face was once an extension of the clerk's office, and two, rectangular, shed-roofed projections which were later, bathroom additions are located along its east face. On the south face of the depot and returning along a portion of its east face is an open, wooden porch covered by a shed roof. The roof of the depot itself is steeply gabled, covered with asphalt shingles, and is penetrated by four, corbelled brick, interior chimneys centered on the ridge line. A cross gable is situated midway along the west side of the roof. Large overhangs, supported by triangular, wooden eave brackets typical of many railroad depots characterize the Riverton Depot. Another distinctive characteristic is the collective appearance of many depot windows, which are all of the double hung variety, two over two, with wood casings. Entrances to the west, south and east faces of the depot contain wooden, four-panel doors topped by transoms. Also a typical, but distinctive characteristic of the depot is a brick-paved platform ten feet in width and extending the length of the west face of the building. Because the structure is no longer used as a depot, that function having been dis­ continued in March, 1976, contemporary use of interior spaces obviously does not conform to historic use. Originally, the depot housed, from north to south: a Railway Express Agency office, a storage room, men's waiting room, clerk's office, women's waiting room, and living quarters containing bathroom, dressing room, bed­ room, kitchen and dining room, and living room. An attic extends three-quarters of the length of the building, but only the area above the living quarters was used for storage, the rest being crawl space. With a few exceptions, interior spaces generally conform, in their dimensions, to original spaces. Present occupation of the spaces, from north to south, is as follows: the REA office is the Frontier Gun Shop and Gallery, the storage room is a coffee shop and restaurant named The Club Car, the men's waiting room is occupied by the Riverton Chamber of Commerce, the women's waiting room and the bedroom of the living quarters contains The Music Store, and the rest of the living quarters houses a craft shop. Some original depot furnish­ ings, such as wood paneling and hardwood flooring, remain as attractive features of the building. 01 SIGNIFICANCE PERIOD AREAS OF SIGNIFICANCE - CHECK AND JUSTIFY BELOW —PREHISTORIC —ARCHEOLOGY-PREHISTORIC —COMMUNITY PLANNING —LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE —RELIGION _1400-1499 —ARCHEOLOGY-HISTORIC —CONSERVATION —LAW —SCIENCE —1500-1599 .^AGRICULTURE ^ECONOMICS —LITERATURE —SCULPTURE —1600-1699 -^ARCHITECTURE —EDUCATION —MILITARY —SOCIAL/HUMANITARIAN —1700-1799 —ART —ENGINEERING —MUSIC —THEATER _1800-1899 -^.COMMERCE —^.EXPLORATION/SETTLEMENT —PHILOSOPHY —^.TRANSPORTATION -^.COMMUNICATIONS A INDUSTRY —POLITICS/GOVERNMENT —OTHER (SPECIFY) —INVENTION SPECIFIC DATES Fall, 1906-Spring, 1907 BUILDER/ARCHITECT STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE (Note: the following is mainly a synopsis of material found in research papers submitted by Mr. Bob Peck, and Mrs. Tonia Burnette, and those papers are attached to this nomination form in an addendum.) By the end of 1868 the construction of the Union Pacific Railroad, part of a trans­ continental transportational artery, was completed through southern Wyoming. Thus the territory, and later the state, was provided a stimulus for growth. Although that stimulus was felt in greater Wyoming, its impact was most obvious in southern Wyoming. Central Wyoming had to wait until 1906 for a railroad, and it was the Chicago and North Western that first tapped the resources of that area of the state. About the same time the United States Congress opened up slightly less than one and one-half million acres of the Wind River Indian Reservation for settlement and entry under the Homestead Act, the Chicago and North Western extended its tracks from Casper to Lander, Wyoming. At Lander, the western terminus of the railroad, con­ struction stopped and the rails were not pushed further west over the Wind River Range, nor south toward a junction with the Union Pacific. However, in the 1960's a rail spur was built from a taconite mine near Atlantic City, over the Continental Divide, to the Union Pacific line at Winton near Rock Springs. Thus, for about a decade a thirty mile stretch of track was needed to complete a connection between the Union Pacific and Chicago and North Western. On August 15, 1906, two weeks before Chicago and North Western construction crews reached Riverton, 1,600 homesteads in the Wind River Valley were opened up for 7,240 claimants who won the right to draw for them. Business and residential lots were opened up in the Riverton townsite that was laid out by the Wyoming Central Irrigation Company. Moving into the townsite on the morning of the 15th, entrepreneurs laid claim to their lots, recording their claims with a government agent, and began un­ loading their belongings, putting up signs, and establishing businesses. Among the first supplies shipped to Riverton was lumber for construction of a new depot. By the fall of 1906 a temporary depot located north of the Main Street- railroad crossing intersection was replaced by the present depot, located just south of that intersection. Completed in 1907, the depot became part of a trans­ portational system that played a vital role in the agricultural and industrial development of the Wind River Valley. Not only did the Chicago and North Western Railroad provide transportation for raw materials produced, and supplies used, in QMAJOR BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES Larson, T. A. History of Wyoming.

  • Chapter 3 – Community Profile
    Chapter 3: COMMUNITY PROFILE The Physical Environment, Socio-Economics and History of Fremont County Natural and technological hazards impact citizens, property, the environment and the economy of Fremont County. These hazards expose Fremont County residents, businesses and industries to financial and emotional costs. The risk associated with hazards increases as more people move into areas. This creates a need to develop strategies to reduce risk and loss of lives and property. Identifying risks posed by these hazards, and developing strategies to reduce the impact of a hazard event can assist in protecting life and property of citizens and communities. Physical / Environment Geology Much of Fremont County is made up of the 8,500 square mile Wind River Basin. This basin is typical of other large sedimentary and structural basins in the Rocky Mountain West. These basins were formed during the Laramide Orogeny from 135 to 38 million years ago. Broad belts of folded and faulted mountain ranges surround the basin. These ranges include the Wind River Range on the west, the Washakie Range and Owl Creeks and southern Big Horn Mountains on the north, the Casper Arch on the east, and the Granite Mountains on the south. The center of the basin is occupied by relatively un-deformed rocks of more recent age. Formations of every geologic age exist in Fremont County. These create an environment of enormous geologic complexity and diversity. The geology of Fremont County gives us our topography, mineral resources, many natural hazards and contributes enormously to our cultural heritage. Topography Fremont County is characterized by dramatic elevation changes.

  • The Sacagawea Mystique: Her Age, Name, Role and Final Destiny Columbia Magazine, Fall 1999: Vol
    History Commentary - The Sacagawea Mystique: Her Age, Name, Role and Final Destiny Columbia Magazine, Fall 1999: Vol. 13, No. 3 By Irving W. Anderson EDITOR'S NOTE The United States Mint has announced the design for a new dollar coin bearing a conceptual likeness of Sacagawea on the front and the American eagle on the back. It will replace and be about the same size as the current Susan B. Anthony dollar but will be colored gold and have an edge distinct from the quarter. Irving W. Anderson has provided this biographical essay on Sacagawea, the Shoshoni Indian woman member of the Lewis and Clark expedition, as background information prefacing the issuance of the new dollar. THE RECORD OF the 1804-06 "Corps of Volunteers on an Expedition of North Western Discovery" (the title Lewis and Clark used) is our nation's "living history" legacy of documented exploration across our fledgling republic's pristine western frontier. It is a story written in inspired spelling and with an urgent sense of purpose by ordinary people who accomplished extraordinary deeds. Unfortunately, much 20th-century secondary literature has created lasting though inaccurate versions of expedition events and the roles of its members. Among the most divergent of these are contributions to the exploring enterprise made by its Shoshoni Indian woman member, Sacagawea, and her destiny afterward. The intent of this text is to correct America's popular but erroneous public image of Sacagawea by relating excerpts of her actual life story as recorded in the writings of her contemporaries, people who actually knew her, two centuries ago.
