New Listings in the National Register

The Keeper of the National Register, National Park Service, recently approved the listing of the following properties in the National Register of Historic Places.

JACKSON COUNTY Lake Agnes Cabin State Forest State Park, Gould vicinity National Register and State Register listed on September 26, 2007 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)

LARIMER COUNTY Flattop Mountain Trail Rocky Mountain National Park, Estes Park vicinity National Register and State Register listed on September 27, 2007 Associated with the early resort industry and tourism in the Estes Park region, the trail grew from the twentieth-century movement to develop national parks for public enjoyment. Completely relocated in 1925, a Depression-era New Deal federal relief agency, the Civilian Conservation Corps, also improved the trail during the summer and fall work season of 1940. The trail design reflects National Park Service Naturalistic Design philosophies and practices of the 1920s through the 1940s. The property is associated with the Rocky Mountain National Park and the Historic Park Landscapes in National and State Parks Multiple Property Submissions.  (Photograph 2003) Full nomination (PDF, 556KB)
