"This well constructed log building is located on the original Gore Road, between Toponas and Kremmling. Called the Rock Creek Ranch Road House, it was built by Jim Gates about 1900 and served as a stage stop with rooms and meals for travelers. Both floors had a porch running the length of the building. The Gates family operated it until about 1906 and then left it and the furniture which was soon stolen. About 1915 Dr. Henderson, a chiropractor, bought the ranch and did some remodeling on the building and then sold it to another doctor who soon deserted it, but retained the title. It was an outstanding job of log construction that has been shamefully vandalized by hunters, campers and others passing by." -- McCoy Memoirs, p. 314
