Casper’s Building Boom Activates City Blocks
Casper plans a banner year for construction with the Weber block addition on Center and Second streets. Randall drawn plans move to bids for a 50 by 25 foot front of dry goods and clothing, plus a 40 by 50 foot rear grocery space, heavy plate glass, and a hydraulic freight elevator. The Odd Fellows lodge expands with two shops and a banquet hall, while a state hospital project and several residences rise. Douglas crimes, lodge reorganizations, and inspections round out this brisk period of growth and civic activity.
