| Description |
A man standing next to a pyramid-like monument with a face on it. Back label- C.R. Savage, Art Bazar...Medals...1891. The Ames Monument in Albany County, Wyoming was listed on the National Register of Historic Places 7/24/72. The Ames Monument is located about twenty miles east of Laramie at a place which was, prior to the rolocation of the railroad about three miles south, the highest point (8,247 feet) on the route of the Union Pacific, the first transcontinental railroad built in America. When completed in 1882, the Ames Monument stood about three hundred feet south of the Union Pacific tracks and on a knoll. The monument, a memorial to the Ames Brothers of Massachustetts, was designed by prominent American architect, H.H. Richardson, and built by Norcross Brothers or Wochester, Massachusetts. It was constructed of granite and rock native to the area. The Ames Monument was erected under the authority of a resolution adopted by the stockholders of the Union Pacific Railroad Company at a meeting held in Boston on March 10, 1875 in memory of Oakes Ames in recognition of his service in the construction of the Union Pacific Railroad. |
