The Ferdinand Lafrentz House, at 2015 Warren Ave. in Cheyenne, Wyoming, was built in 1882. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
It has elements of Queen Anne style and was deemed "representative of the type of frame cottage that was built in Cheyenne during the last quarter of the nineteenth century."[2]
It is significant in part for its association with three persons of importance:
- Lloyd Fredendall, whose father owned the house, and who became Lieutenant-General in the U.S. Army, notably serving in North Africa in 1942 and becoming a commander of the Second Army in 1943
- Ferdinand W. Lafrentz, who owned the house during the 1884–87
- Robert N. LaFontaine, a Cheyenne contractor.[2]
