"The cornerstone of the Methodist Episcopal Church, also known as the First United Methodist Church, was laid August 17, 1898, and placed within the stone were a Bible, a hymnal, a copy of the Church Discipline, several church papers, and some coins. The church was dedicated on May 28, 1899, having been built by Pastor E. J. Robinson and members of the congregation. The ornamental features and details of the exterior combine with an especially functional plan of the interior to provide beauty, comfort, and convenience for the worshipper. The interior of the church follows the Akron plan, which typifies many Methodist churches in the West. The emphasis in this plan, developed in Akron, Ohio, is on good acoustics, sight lines, and flexibility, along with the focus on the pulpit and communion table. The elevated platform for preaching is placed in the corner of the audience room, with the seating in circular pattern. The plan was originated and developed between 1879 and 1885 by George Washington Kramer, upon the suggestion of the father-in-law of Thomas A. Edison." ~ Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office website
