Built
in 1886, the Cheyenne Union Pacific Depot is widely acknowledged
to be the most beautiful railroad station between Omaha and Sacramento.
Designed in Romanesque style and constructed from polychromatic
sandstone the three-story Depot anchors the downtown, its spire
facing the Capitol dome nine blocks to the north. In 1971 regular
passenger service to Cheyenne was discontinued, and the Depot was
partitioned into offices for the Union Pacific Corporation. The
Union Pacific moved out of the Depot entirely in 1990.

This old postcard from 1911 shows the Cheyenne Depot in its
hey day. |
Re-View
was commissioned to restore the historic windows to their original
condition. Samples were taken from the site to replicate sizes,
profiles, and joinery. Re-View performed all lead paint abatement,
painting and finishing, and restoration of the window sash and frames.
Many frames and sash had to be replicated to the exact design of
the originals since they were beyond restoration.

The windows at the depot were literally falling to pieces. Re-View
rebuilt the openings trying to save every original element to
bring the depot back to its original condition. |
