Antiques Central is located at 2311 Reed Avenue in the northwest portion of the original plat of the City of Cheyenne, Wyoming. Cheyenne was basically created by the first transcontinental railroad, making it an important transportation center from its inception. Therefore, its commercial history was inextricably tied to the railroad. This building was constructed in 1922-1923 and was provided with a railroad siding that diverged north from the tracks that ran along Reed Avenue. This line was originally built to serve first Camp Carlin, an important nineteenth century military supply depot, then Fort D.A. Russell, and after 1887, points northward along what became the Cheyenne and Northern Railroad. The building represents early twentieth century factory/warehouse architecture and served first as the Laramie County Milk Producers Cooperative Association creamery and warehouse, and then as a warehouse after the creamery closed in 1940.
