Natrona Motor Company/ Casper Motor Company

 
 

Read All About It:

This building was constructed in 1918 by Albert Majors and Benjamin Mueller to house

 the Casper Auto Company, an auto showroom and garage run by B. B. Lummis. The building represents elements of the Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style. The Natrona/Casper Motor Company building represents one of the earliest and largest car dealerships in Casper and Wyoming. It operated continuously as a car dealership and garage from 1918 to 1970, serving the Casper community and the surrounding region. It is important for its contribution to the commerce of the city and the region. The building is also important for its architecture which reflects the economic optimism and affluence brought about by the regional oil boom of the late 1910s and 1920s. The building facade still retains elements of the Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style that was in vogue throughout America during this time period. It was also among the first buildings in Casper to be constructed using poured concrete walls.
