Flour Mills Mural, Wheatland Wyoming


These photographs depict a Flour Mills mural on the main street of Wheatland Wyoming.  As can be seen from the photograph above, the building with the mural is directly across the street from the Platte County Courthouse in Wheatland, Wyoming.


Platte County was founded in 1911 by way of an irrigation project that brought farming into the region, so the mural is quite appropriate for the history of the town.

License Plate Mural, Wheatland Wyoming.


This is an outbuilding on the property of Platte County which features a mural of one of Wyoming's prior license plates.  I don't know what the use of the building is, but everything on the block belongs to the county so it must have some governmental use.

Platte County Steam Laundry, Wheatland Wyoming


This small building is still in use, and has updated windows today.  A newer sign above the door says "Coin Operated Laundry", so perhaps its still in its original use, although presumably not as a "steam laundry".  Its location is just off of the rail line, which was likely a good location for a laundry.

Landmark Bar, Wheatland Wyoming


Located directly across the street from the Platte County Courthouse, the Landmark Bar features a painting of a map view of the State of Wyoming on its side.
