PODCAST In 1959, at the age of 15, Jim Bishop bought a plot of land in the Wet Mountains, west of Pueblo, Colorado. He started building a stone cottage on the land in the mid sixties, and never stopped.

Built entirely by Bishop himself, Bishop Castle—as it’s come to be known—is likely one of the largest one-man building projects in the world.
