The Bow Valley Ranch House and property serve as an excellent reminder of the wealth generated by Calgary's leading pioneer ranchers. The villa-like brick house was erected in 1896 by William Roper Hull, one of Calgary's most prominent citizens. It replaced an earlier log structure which has been built in the 1870s by homesteader John Glenn and which was the first permanent farm in the Bow Valley area. In 1902, Patrick Burns purchased the 4,000-acre ranch, by 1937 other family members operated the ranch and did so until the early 1970s. The house and 1,400 acres of the ranch now form part of the Fish Creek Provincial Park.
