Trail End, Historic mansion in Sheridan, United States
Trail End, also called the John B. Kendrick Mansion, is a 13,748-square-foot house at 400 Clarendon Avenue in Sheridan, Wyoming. It is one of the few examples of Flemish Revival architecture in the state, designed by Glenn Charles MacAlister with interiors by New York architect D. Everett Waid. The main house was ready for occupancy in July 1913; the Carriage House, finished earlier, housed the Kendrick family for three years.
Trail End was built from 1908 to 1913 for the cattleman John B. Kendrick, who became Wyoming's governor in 1914 and a U.S. senator three years later; it then served as his summer home. Designed by Glenn Charles MacAlister at a cost of $164,000, with interiors by New York architect D. Everett Waid, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 26, 1970.
The house displays period furnishings and objects that reflect how wealthy families lived in Wyoming during the early 1900s. Visitors get a sense of the daily routines, social life, and household practices of that time.
Visitors can explore the house at their own pace, allowing time to discover details independently. The property is easy to navigate and the rooms are accessible for most people.
A group of supporters called the Trail End Guild has worked since the 1980s to help maintain and improve the house. These volunteers have contributed to recreating period-appropriate furnishings and developing new exhibits within the home.
