The Slovenski Dom in Rock Springs, Wyoming was built as a community hall for Slovenian fraternal organizations in 1913. The Slovenski Dom, or Slovenian National Home, was one of a number of similar halls built in places with large ethnic Slovenian populations. The organizing charter stipulated that the hall be known as the "Slovenski Dom", its name in Slovenian, rather than by its English translation. It is the only example of its kind in Wyoming.[2]
The Slovenski Dom was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.[1]
Today Slovenski Dom isn't used for its original purpose and is rented by the company selling the products of local artists.
