The Bar B C Dude Ranch was built near Moose, Wyoming in 1912 as a dude ranch by Struthers Burt and Horace Carncross. Rather than converting a working ranch, Burt and Carncross built a tourist-oriented due ranch from the ground up, using a style called "Dude Ranch Vernacular", which featured log construction and rustic detailing. The ranch operated until after World War II, when the cabins became summer rental cabins.
