HOG PARK GUARD STATION
Cowdrey vicinity
National Register 9/25/2003, 5JA.561

Constructed in 1910, Hog Park Guard Station is the oldest standing guard station in Routt National Forest.  The simple log cabin is a rare example of a time when the Forest Service District Rangers were using common standards to construct buildings of local materials with local labor.  The location of the buildings also demonstrates the shift in philosophy from one of resource management to one of resource conservation.

Gould

LAKE AGNES CABIN
2.5 miles from Colo. Hwy 14 near Cameron Pass
Colorado State Forest, Gould vicinity
National Register 9/26/2007, 5JA.1716

The 1925 cabin is a good local example of Rustic style architecture, a form characterized by its natural setting and its use of native materials, often log and stone. Designed to blend in with the natural environment, these buildings usually served as vacation homes, hunting lodges, dude ranches, or tourist-related facilities in national and state parks. The Lake Agnes Cabin reflects the design characteristics with its log walls, rubble foundation, simple form, and gently pitched roof. (Photograph 2005) Full nomination (PDF, 424kb)
