Bandshell at Whipple Park, Lingle, Wyoming |
Of the second photo, the Library of Congress writes:
Patriotically painted bandshell in Lingle, Wyoming’s Whipple Park, named after Ivan Whipple, a lineman employed by Wyrulec Company, an early distributor of electricity in southeastern Wyoming. The bandshell was built by the Great Depression-era Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1941-42.
