Paul Stock House

The Paul Stock House is a residential property in Cody, Wyoming, constructed in Spanish Colonial Revival style with an irregular H-shaped floor plan. Stucco walls and clay tile roofing define its exterior, positioned to overlook the Shoshone River.

The house was built between 1945 and 1946, designed by architect Leon Goodrich in Spanish Colonial Revival style. Paul Stock took charge of the construction project partway through its development.

The house draws from local resources, with two substantial fireplaces made from polished well cores from nearby oil fields. This choice connects the home to Wyoming's industrial heritage in a tangible way.

The property overlooks the Shoshone River from its elevated location and can be viewed from the grounds, though it remains a private residence. Access is generally available for exterior viewing during daylight hours with appropriate respect for the site.

Stock incorporated oilfield technology into the house's construction, using deep support pilings and industrial-grade pipes for utilities. This approach allowed the structure to remain stable on the challenging ground conditions of the region.
