The Alliance for Historic Wyoming Watchlist brings statewide attention to historic properties in Wyoming that are currently threatened with demolition or neglect. Properties listed on the Watchlist are significant to Wyoming at the local or state level and have local support for their preservation. We typically do not list properties that are privately owned without permission of the owner. The Alliance works with local advocacy groups and statewide partners to save properties on the Watchlist.

If a building or landscape in your community is threatened, please call 307-333-3508 or submit the form below.

Saints Cyril & Methodius Catholic Church has long been a cornerstone of north-side Rock Springs. Its tall bell tower and century-old craftsmanship make it one of the community’s most recognizable landmarks, shaping the city’s skyline. The church and the rectory were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015. Now, the Diocese of Cheyenne is moving to relegate the church, removing the building from sacred use. With the building’s future suddenly uncertain, residents are rallying to save a place that has meant so much to the community for generations and continues to serve as a local soup kitchen.

In 1890, Cheyenne was a fast-growing town that aspired to provide the most consistent water access to their residents. The town planned to locate a new pumphouse, to accommodate the growing water pressure needs of the community, on a block of land they recently purchased from the Union Pacific Railroad.
