First photographed in 1919, the building was originally built and used by the U.S. Forest Service, likely as an out station where rangers or other Forest Service workers stayed. The ranch's owners took it over under what is called a "99-year deed," still owned by the Forest Service and leased by the ranch. Under the stipulations of the lease, Big Creek cannot change the footprint, exterior, or foundation of the building. The origin of the unusual "Pelican Club" name is uncertain. It dates to the Forest Service period, when it was not terribly likely to have referred to a hunting club. | Credit line: Gates Frontiers Fund Wyoming Collection within the Carol M.
