Whipple House was built in Cheyenne, Wyoming by Ithamar C. Whipple in 1883. It was bought by Lenny and Betty Anne Beierle in 1982 to turn into a restaurant. They restored the house and the U.S. Park Service made it a Designated Rehabilitation in 1987. It opened as a restaurant in 1987 and closed in 1992.
