The End Of An Era For Cheyenne’s Original Arp Elementary School
It's the end of an era for Cheyenne's original Arp Elementary School.
Built in 1961, the old building saw generations of students pass through its walls. But by 2023, the building had more than its share of problems, including crumbling walls, leaks, and a host of other issues.
School Closed In 2023
A farewell celebration was held in June of 2023, and a brand-new Arp is in the works to serve future generations on the same location. But of course, for the hundreds of students who attended the old school over six decades, its memory will live on for many, many years.;
Old Cheyenne Buildings, New Purpose
Wyoming owner of TJoe's Restaurant and all-around entrepreneur Sherrie Lyle purchased some old buildings on the west side of downtown Cheyenne, Wyoming.
There is an opportunity to transform these once grand and now forgotten structures into a new business area.
Many new businesses are looking at this old side of Cheenne. Restaurants and stores are looking at the old structures and imagining what new things they can do with them.
