All Saints Episcopal Church, Wheatland Wyoming
This is All Saints Episcopal Church in Wheatland Wyoming. I don't know the vintage of the structure, but there are a couple of "historic" renderings of it in the form of drawings, to it does date back some decades. the architecture of the church is a bit unusual, so its style is a bit difficult to characterize.

Church Ruin, West Laramie, Wyoming
This striking church ruin is located in West Laramie, Wyoming
The structure is clearly that of a classic Gothic style church, which was constructed out of stone and cement. The structure of the church itself would tend to indicate that it was likely built in a classic Catholic church manner, which would indicate here that the church was likely built with a Catholic or Episcopalian congregation in mind, although its location might possibly indicate that it was built as a chapel for the Territorial Prison in Laramie. The structure is very old, and its been in ruins for as long as I personally can recall. It's now located on the grounds of a farm, but at the time it was built it would have been actually several miles outside of Laramie, and indeed it would have been at least three miles from the territorial prison.
This church is a mystery to me, and if anyone knows what it was, I'd appreciate knowing.
Emmanuel Apostolic Temple, Laramie Wyoming
This is an older church located in West Laramie, Wyoming. The sign on the church identifies it as the Emmanuel Apostolic Temple. Given the appearance of the church, and its location, it was almost certainly built for some other Protestant congregation many years ago, but I otherwise know nothing about it.
Unknown Church, Centerra Colorado
These are terrible photographs, but they sort of demonstrate a current trend in American life. This is a very large church, just off of Interstate 25, near Centerra Colorado.
Centerra is an area north of Denver that's being developed heavily, and which features shopping just off the Interstate. This church must serve the local community, adn I dn't knkow anything else about it.
