]]> Mary Humstone Laramie's University Neighborhood Inventory of Historic Buildings http://repository.uwyo.edu/university_neighborhood/1 http://repository.uwyo.edu/university_neighborhood/1 Fri, 10 May 2013 11:10:11 PDT In October, 2006, the University of Wyoming American Studies Program (UW-AMST) entered into an agreement with the Albany County Historic Preservation Board to complete an inventory of historic buildings in a 20-block residential area of Laramie. The project was undertaken by UW-AMST as part of the public-sector component of the American Studies curriculum. This inventory is the first phase of a two-phase project to nominate the surveyed area to the National Register of Historic Places.

This document includes both the survey report and the 154 Architectural Inventory Forms from the survey area.

]]> Mary Humstone et al. Laramie's West Side Neighborhood Inventory of Historic Buildings http://repository.uwyo.edu/laramie_west_side/1 http://repository.uwyo.edu/laramie_west_side/1 Wed, 08 May 2013 14:15:16 PDT In July, 2010, the University of Wyoming American Studies Program (UW-AMST) entered into an agreement with the Albany County Historic Preservation Board to complete an inventory of historic buildings in a 32-block residential area of Laramie. The project was undertaken by UW-AMST as part of the public-sector component of the American Studies curriculum.

Laramie’s West Side neighborhood comprises all of the residential blocks west of the Union Pacific Railroad tracks and east of the Laramie River. However, the blocks north of Clark Street were surveyed in a separate project (“Clark Street North”).1 Therefore, this survey project encompassed only the blocks from Clark Street south to Park Avenue. The survey area extends from Railroad Avenue on the east to Spruce Street on the west, and includes 248 individual properties. Although the survey area includes only a portion of the West Side neighborhood, for purposes of this report it will be referred to as the “West Side” neighborhood. The area north of Clark Street is referred to as the “Clark Street North” neighborhood.

Modern maps only chart these same interests with more precision. Out on the plains, in Wyoming, the monsters crawl through cold stiffened grasses, creep quietly under the cover of the whistling wind. But mapping, the locating, it gives no respite and often leads nowhere. I go on to talk about the mapping of registered sex offenders that is mandated federally. I was interested in these maps because they seem to provide a false sense of security for community members to rely on them to identify the dangers that surround them. But like most maps, I felt that the information presented was loaded with material that wasn't questioned, and didn't present itself as questionable when offered up in the two-dimensional, and I mean in the literal sense and metaphorical sense of format of the map. I hope this map encourages its viewers to consider the contents of this map and others more attentively in the future. While maps can be and often are excellent beacons, they are also wrought with subjectivity.

So started thinking of Laramie as an outward facing city, looking out toward the other Laramie's, the Laramie River, the Laramie mountain range, Laramie Peak. But it feels incomplete to define a place based just on its landscape, its access to or vantages of other places. So, this landmarks landscape map attempts to show Laramie in the context of its environment by giving a visual map both of spots where you can see the mountains merging into the city and of what else you might use as landmarks when the mountains aren't in view.
