Cheyenne Fire & Rescue

Investigators aren't yet sure what caused a fire at a vacant building in north Cheyenne last night.

The City of Cheyenne announced Wednesday that it has, once again, ordered the owner of the vacant Hitching Post Inn to demolish and remove the structure.

Investigators are still trying to piece together what caused last week's fire at the vacant Hitching Post Inn.

The Hitching Post was once a major Cheyenne landmark, known as "The Second Capitol" because so many legislators stayed there.

Chief Middlestadt said the ladder and flag remained extended until 8:28 a.m., the time at which the second tower toppled on Sept. 11, 2001.

Officials are trying to figure out what sparked an early morning fire at the Hitching Post Inn Monday.
