"St. Luke's Episcopal Church was built in 1889 of red brick, in the Gothic Revival style of architecture. The church displays many noteworthy architectural features, and is considered one of the best examples of the Gothic Revival architectural style in the state of Wyoming. The interior plan, with a small narthex, long narrow nave, chancel elevated by two steps, sanctuary elevated by two more steps, typifies the plans of small Episcopal churches throughout the country. The cornerstone was laid in 1889 by the Masonic Lodge of Buffalo. The builder, Thomas Hutton, used red brick made by the Curran brothers in their brickyard on the west side of town." ~ Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office website
