Object Description

Title	Residence of Colonel W. F. Cody, (Buffalo Bill) North Platte, Neb.
Description	The American Queen Anne style house in this colorized 5-3/8" x 3-1/2" postcard is mainly a two-story building with several gables and a three-story square tower. Painted brown with white trim and spindle work, the building also features a covered front porch and a porte cochere at the side. The tower appears to have a lighting rod at the peak of its roof, and a single chimney rises from the far side of the house. Part of a barn can be seen behind the house at the left and part of another building shows behind the house at the right. There is a postmark and one-cent green George Washington stamp on the reverse.

Historical Notes	William Cody, more famously known as Buffalo Bill, formed his touring show, Buffalo Bill's Wild West, near North Platte in 1883. There Cody established Scout's Rest Ranch northwest of the town of North Platte and built an 18-room home. The barn provided a home for the show's animals during the winter months. The home and 25 acres has been managed by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission since 1964 and now serves as the Buffalo Bill Ranch State Historical Park. The house now has a much different roofline than that shown in this postcard.
