Plate 15. Laramie Hotel, Laramie City

Andrew Joseph Russell

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a railway station scene with railroad tracks running parallel, stretching into the distance towards the horizon. Multiple parallel railway tracks filled with gravel are on the right, while two large rectangular buildings are on the left. The station building closest to us is long and two-storied with small windows and a modest entrance awning. Small groups of people are around, with some standing or walking closer to the buildings. Stones and debris are scattered near the tracks closest to the viewer. The image has a sepia-toned palette with dominant shades of brown, beige, and gray against a light sky.
