The Lower Shell School House is located in an isolated portion of Big Horn County, Wyoming on a bluff near Shell Creek. The schoolhouse 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 1950s, and as a community meeting house until the 1970s.

The school is set in a wild landscape of greasewood overlooking the Shell Creek Valley, six miles east of Greybull and eight miles west of Shell on US 14. The one story building measures approximately {{convert|24|ft|m}} by {{convert|46|ft|m}}. The facade is executed in coursed ashlar sandstone, while the secondary elevations are in rock-faced sandstone in random coursing. The building is entered through double doors with a fixed transom above, and a "1903" datestone above the rock-faced stone lintel. The hipped roof features a wood framed bell tower. The interior was one room with wainscoting and a wood floor. The ceiling height is {{convert|11.67|ft|m}}.[2]

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.[3]

The Lower Shell School House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
