Willis House, Registered historic residence in Encampment, Wyoming, US.

The Willis House features a modified American Foursquare design with two stories constructed from molded concrete blocks and deep flared eaves.

Built in 1908 for Lydia M. Willis, the house served as both a residence and a business establishment during the Grand Encampment copper mining period.

The property represents early 20th-century business operations in Wyoming mining towns, with preserved correspondence documenting relationships between proprietors and employees.

The upper level contains five rooms with bed alcoves sharing a single toilet, while the exterior displays a masonry-pillared porch on the west side.

The structure stands as the sole masonry house in Encampment and changed ownership 18 times before Charles Terwilliger purchased it for $800 in 1931.
