Built in 1934 by the son of one of the first families in Dubois, O. Ernest Stringer, the historical Twin Pines Lodge has some features of interior design that distinguish it from other log buildings.
A balcony, with a railing constructed of burled lodgepole pine, wraps around the entire lobby. The burled lodgepole was gathered from a ridge near Union Pass.
One of northwest Wyoming's most significant log buildings, Twin Pines Lodge was crafted from local logs in a mix of "arts and crafts" style and the rustic architecture found in Yellowstone Park. O.E. Stringer and his wife designed the building and Ernest "Rough Log" Johnson, a local tie hack, assisted with construction. The lodge was finished in 1914, to complete a complex of cabins built in the late 20s and early 30s.
The logs are saddle-notched lodgepole pine of a uniform size taken from the dense stands on Lava Mountain to the west. Decorative gnarled wood used in the interior is also lodgepole, but comes from diseased trees. Log gables, a hipped roof and massive stone fireplace illustrated the skilled craftsmanship that qualifies Twin Pines Lodge for the National Register of Historic Places.
