St. John's Episcopal Church, Jackson Wyoming

These photographs, taken in waning light, depict St. John's Episcopal Church in Jackson, Wyoming. There are actually two churches on the location, with this one being the new church built in 1995.

The photographs that appear below are the second church, built in 1916. This church is on the same half block as the 1995 church.

St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Dubois Wyoming

This is St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Dubois, Wyoming. The church was constructed in 1910, and has been added on to since that time.

St. Helen's Episcopal Church, Crowheart Community Church, Crowheart Wyoming

This church is located in Crowheart, Wyoming and, according to the sign out in front, it serves two denominations. It is, as the photos show, a small rural church.

St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, Casper Wyoming

This is St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Casper Wyoming. This unusually styled church must have been built in the late 1950s or the 1960s, when this would have been on the edge of Casper, which it still somewhat is.

As a side note, this church is next to a Presbyterian Church which has not been photographed for this blog. The reason is that it is very difficult to photograph, the front portion of it bordering a major intersection and there being no way to adequately depict it. It is also of a fairly contemporary architecture style so somewhat outside the focus of the blog.

St. Matthews Episcopal Cathedral, Laramie Wyoming

This is the impressive St. Matthews Episcopal Cathedral in Laramie, Wyoming. This photograph was one I took in 1986, but the Cathedral appears largely the same today.

One oddity about this Cathedral is that the Episcopal diocese's offices are actually in Casper, Wyoming. While I don't know for sure, I think that this likely reflects the age of this cathedral, which is fairly old. At the time it was built, only southern Wyoming was relatively populated, and Laramie was a bit of a center of culture, being the site of the university, and of certain English interests that had entered the ranching industry and headquartered there. "Ivinson Street", for example, is named after one such family. The Cathedral does have a large administrative building, built in a Gothic style, which were likely the Diocese's administrative offices.


In later years, Cheyenne or Casper would prove to be more logical administrative centers, and in recent years the Episcopal Church apparently chose Casper as their administrative headquarters.

An adjoining courtyard to the Cathedral features a nice World War One memorial.

St. Luke's Episcopal Church, Buffalo Wyoming

This is St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Buffalo Wyoming. It was built in 1889. Oddly enough, it's one of two St. Luke's in Buffalo, the other being a Lutheran Church across town.

Christ Episcopal Church Newcastle Wyoming

This is Christ Episcopal Church in Newcastle Wyoming, making this the second Episcopal Church in Wyoming with that name that I'm aware of. It's an older church, but otherwise I don't know anything further about it. It is somewhat difficult to photograph due to the very large tree that is in front of it. Unfortunately, one of my "from the truck" photographs was at an angle, also making for a poor photograph.

Christ Episcopal Church Douglas Wyoming

This is Christ Episcopal Church in Douglas Wyoming. It's an older church, on a downtown corner, but otherwise I don't know anything more about it.

St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Sheridan Wyoming

This is St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Sheridan Wyoming.

I don't know anything about the history of this Church, although I would note that it has a very English appearance. At one time, there was a substantial English expatriate population in Sheridan, which may have influenced the design of this attractive church somewhat.

Christ Episcopal Church, Glenrock Wyoming

This Episcopal Church is a log structure. Log churches are fairly common in rural Wyoming settings.

St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Cheyenne Wyoming

This is the second Wyoming Episcopal Church named St. Mark's that has been posted on this blog, but this one is older, and in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Located in downtown Cheyenne, this church was built in 1888 and was patterned after Stoke Poges Church in England, a church built in the 11th Century.

Of some interest, thsi church is just slightly younger than the Episcopal Cathedral in Salt Lake City, which is St. Mark's Cathedral.

St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Casper Wyoming

This traditionally styled Episcopal Church includes the office buildings for the church a meeting room, kitchen and a day school, so the interior space used for services is smaller than the large exterior might suggest.

The view featured on the bottom photograph could not be seen until recently, as a large house once stood in what is now an open area. The church is across the street from the former St. Anthony's Catholic School, which has moved to a new location across town. The church was built in 1924.
