Kendrick Mansion
Sheridan, Wyoming

The Kendrick Mansion, also known as Trail's End, is one of the most beautiful historical sites that Sheridan, Wyoming has to offer. The 13,748 square foot mansion was built between 1908 and 1913 at a cost of over $165,000.00. It was the home of John B. Kendrick, one of Wyoming's most successful politicians. The home was designed by Montana architect Glenn Charles McAlister. New York designer D. Everett Waid undertook completion of the interior. Trail's End's stylistic influences are rather eclectic, with American Gothic, late Victorian, Edwardian and Prairie styles throughout the interior and Flemish Revival with Neoclassical details on the exterior.

While waiting for the main house to be completed, the Carriage House was built and served as an apartment for the Kendrick's. It later housed their riding horses and automobiles. In 1979, the 3,013 square foot building was converted into an eighty-eight seat community theater where you can still enjoy the local talent in the summer time.

Trail End's 3.8 acres of groomed grounds and gardens were designed by the Minneapolis firm of Morell & Nichols and are considered to be the first professionally landscaped grounds in the entire state of Wyoming. Features include several hundred trees and shrubs indigenous to Wyoming as well as an unusual collection of non-native species.
