Description
The Lower Shell School House is located on a bluff near Shell Creek in an isolated portion of Big Horn County, Wyoming . It was built in 1903, and was one of the first buildings in the area that did not use log construction. The school functioned as a church and Sunday school, and as a community meeting place. It was used as a school until the 1950's, and as a community meeting house until the 1970s. The roof features a wood framed bell tower. The interior was one room with wainscoting and a wood floor. The school house has been renovated as a single-family home, with commercial space in the schoolroom. A three-level wood framed addition has been added to the rear, leaving the main school room intact. The Lower Shell School House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
