Contents

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996, [1] but was torn down in December 2017.

History and architectural features

This complex encompassed sixteen contributing buildings and one contributing structure (a stone wall). The buildings were the lodge, cabins, bath house, and a fruit stand. Built in 1939, they were made from chestnut logs with concrete chinking, and were designed in a "log cabin" style. The lodge and cabins closed circa 1965. [2]

Until 1962, Red Run Lodge had a policy of refusing accommodations to Black people. The owners and operators of the lodge were charged with racial discrimination in 1961. A public hearing was avoided when the owners agreed to a consent order that established that the lodge would accommodate Black customers without discrimination. [3]

The Bar B C Dude Ranch was established near Moose, Wyoming in 1912 as a dude ranch by Struthers Burt and Dr. Horace Carncross, using their initials as the brand. Rather than converting a working ranch, Burt and Carncross built a tourist-oriented dude ranch from the ground up, using a style called "Dude Ranch Vernacular", which featured log construction and rustic detailing. As one of the first dude ranches in Jackson Hole, the Bar B C was a strong influence on other dude ranches in the area, and employed a number of people who went on to establish their own operations. It was acquired by the National Park Service and incorporated into Grand Teton National Park upon the expiration of a life estate. The ranch was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
