"Construction of this city hall was largely financed through the collection of liqour license fees. "Quicksand" discovered at the site necessitated a massive 14-foot foundation.
Built during the Panic of 1893, the Richardsonian Romanesque architecture projected an image of strength and permanence. This building was not only the center of local government but also provided an economic and social center for Southwest Wyoming and portions of Utah and Colorado.
Vacated in 1982, volunteers reopened the old city hall as a museum during the city's centennial celebration in 1988. It closed temporarily in 1991-92 for a two million dollar restoration project."
