The 1921 Cheyenne High School

The 1921 Cheyenne High School

Built in 1921, this Late Gothic Revival structure served as the Laramie County School District No. 1 Administration Building.

Located at 2810 House Avenue in Cheyenne, Wyoming, the former Cheyenne High School is a three-story building constructed in 1921. Designed by architect William Dubois and built by contractor John W. Howard, the structure is designed in a Late Gothic Revival - also known as Collegiate Gothic - style.

The building features walls made of reinforced concrete with brick faces and has a footprint of 250 by 220 feet. It was also known as Central High School and served as the Laramie County School District No. 1 Administration Building.

The school district served by this building was eventually split into Cheyenne Central High School, Cheyenne East High School, and Cheyenne South High School. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
