QuadraDangleSquareDanceClub
Built in 1928 by the Union Pacific Railroad as an athletic club for employees and Laramie residents, the large log building on Grays Gable Road (named in honor of the UPRR president, Carl Gray) across from the golf course is now home to the Quadra Dangle Club. In 1949, the lodge pole and ponderosa pine building was purchased by four Laramie couples who wanted to continue the tradition of having a place where people in the community could gather. The Union Pacific sold the building with the provision the new owners maintain the tradition of offering a “clean recreation by prohibiting drinking and rowdyism” at the facility, a release says. It wasn’t long after the purchase that the couples, who enjoyed square dancing, opened up to others in the region for that purpose.
