The Slovenski Dom in Rock Springs, Wyoming was built as a community hall for Slovenian fraternal organizations in 1913.

The organizing charter stipulated that the hall be known as the "Slovenski Dom", its name in Slovenian, rather than by its English translation.

[1][2] Several Slovenian Lodges – formed originally to provide hospital and death benefits to the miners and to provide a social outlet for their families – joined together to contract with the Superior Lumber Company to construct a building for their meetings and social events.

The Dom immediately became a center of community activity and helped preserve the ethnic identities of those who practiced their religion, music, language, and other customs there.

It was the site of ethnic large meetings including Slovenian, Croatian, and Italian lodges as well as the local chapters of the United Mine Workers.
