The Rock Church of Auburn, Wyoming is a historic church building that has served also as a community center. Also known as Latter Day Saints Auburn Ward Meeting House, it is located in the public square at Second W and First S Sts. in Auburn. It was built in 1889 out of rough cut stone, rarely used in early Star Valley architecture. It is a steeply gabled structure, of size approximately 30 by 15 feet (9.1 m × 4.6 m). The church began construction in the summer, was hand-worked, and finished during the winter. The rectangular building stands unornamented beyond the texture of stone and an arch stating "Auburn Ward." Construction of the building costed $2,980.00 at the time and the community was considered the wealthiest in the valley for some years after construction. Read more on Wikipedia
