The balcony on the west side was enclosed in the 1930s to make a playroom for Manville and Diana Kendrick's children. The two sets of three windows rising vertically in the center of the west side open into the Main Staircase above an Italian Porch. The access ramp was added in the mid-1980s.

Although this is the side that faces the street, the north entrance is the least-used or Trail End's five first-floor entrances. The triangular window on the third floor opens into the Maid's bedroom, the second floor balcony leads to the Guest Wing, and the north porch leads to the Dining Room and Butlers' Pantry.

In the valley just below Trail End's East Lawn is the original site of Sheridan, founded by John D. Loucks in 1883. The tracks of the Burlington railroad first came down these hills in 1892. Past the hills lies Powder River Country - prime ranch land used by John Kendrick and other Texas-born cowboys.

Featuring shade trees, winding pathways, and stunning views of the mountains, the southeast lawn is the best example of Trail End's "Natural Style" landscaping. Trees include Green Ash, Cutleaf Weeping Birch, Silver Poplar, Tree Lilac, Mockorange, Flowering Crabapple and Redleaf Maple.

Original plans for a pergola, stone steps and sunken pool in this area were never completed by the Kendrick family due to their move to Cheyenne in 1915. The sundial was installed in 1928, six years after it was ordered from England. Massive Silver Poplars frame the Rose Garden's stellar view of the Bighorn Mountains.

Adjacent to Trail End is Kendrick Park, donated to the City by John B. Kendrick in 1905. Across Big Goose Valley is Mount Hope Cemetery. The Bighorn Mountains are in the distance. Once known as the "Shining Mountains," the range is now home to the Bighorn National Forest.

Like the southeast grounds, the southwest lawn features shade trees and mountain views. Trees include Silver Poplar, Blue Spruce, Cutleaf Silver Maple, Redleaf Norway Maple, Vanhautii Spirea, Boxelder, Upright Native Juniper, Chokecherry, Caragena, Chinese Elm and European Mountain Ash.

The apples, plums and chokecherries growing in the Trail End orchard were made into jams and jellies by the Kendrick family cook. Along with vegetables, flowers were planted in the original gardens, particularly carnations and zinnias. Other trees include Oak, Blue Spruce, Ponderosa Pine and European Mountain Ash.

Finished in 1910, the Carriage House features the same Flemish Revival architecture as the main house. The Kendricks used it as an apartment while awaiting completion of the main house. Today, the Carriage House houses an 87-seat community theater operated by the Sheridan Civic Theatre Guild.

When Trail End was built, the courtyard was a brick-walled dirt corral containing a coal bin, chicken coop, and plenty of room for horses. In the 1980s, it was transformed into a peaceful courtyard through the efforts of the Carriage House Auxiliary.

The Drying Yard is located between the mansion and the Carriage House. When it was designed, the architects called it a "very logical" location because it was close to the house. Later users thought it was a poor location because it was in the middle of a circular gravel driveway!

Though today it looks like just another lawn, Trail End's northwest lawn was originally a grass tennis court. Wire backstops still remain behind thick coverings of Virginia Creeper, Honeysuckle and Chokecherry. Trees include Lombardy Poplar, Silver Poplar and Blue Spruce.

Bordered on the north by a row of mature Blue Spruce, the main entrance drive on the east and the service drive on the west, Trail End's north lawn is a spacious natural barrier between Victoria Street and the mansion. Look for American Linden, Mockorange, Cutleaf Weeping Birch and Chinese Elm trees.

The northeast area contains a quiet, shady grove anchored by an exotically spectacular Southern Catalpa tree that bursts forth each spring with orchid-like blooms. Other trees include Ponderosa Pine, Blue Spruce, Spirea, Lilac, Boxelder, American Linden, Green Ash, Silver Poplar and Japanese Plum.
