Historic Cheyenne building honored with 2026 LeClercq Jones Award The Cheyenne Historic Preservation Board is proud to announce that the Asher Building at 500 W. 15th St., represented by Laurie Hutchinson, has been selected as the recipient of this year’s LeClercq Jones Award for Historic Preservation.

This National Preservation Week, we’re looking back at a piece of our local history: the Laramie County Carnegie Library.

Completed in 1902, it was the first Carnegie library in Wyoming. Located on West 22nd & Capitol Ave, it was best known for its grand, elevated exterior staircase—a signature feature of many Carnegie designs.

Despite its significance to the community, the building was demolished in 1971 to make way for a newer facility.

This week (and beyond), we hope all Cheyenneites help protect and preserve our community’s remaining historic gems.
