A group of community members is working to save a historic home in Laramie known colloquially as the "Fee House." The Laramie Boomerang reports the over 100-year-old house sits on land owned by a dentist's office, which would like to expand there. Now, the home has no planned home of its own. The Historic Preservation Board is looking for a possible buyer of the house or a new location it can move to.
