Historitecture recorded the Harsh’s Cozy Cottages/River Pines Cottages site (5GA.3579) to Historic American Building Survey (HABS) standards. The resulting HABS report was intended to serve as a component of the archival documentation required in a memorandum of agreement between the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests, and the Colorado State Historic Preservation Office concerning the River Pines Cottages site, 12082 U.S. Highway 34, Grand Lake Village vicinity, Grand County, Colorado. The Forest Service determined that the approval to widen and pave Grand County Road 672 and to allow an additional access point off of this road to the River Pines at Shadow Mountain Lake (River Pines) Subdivision, would have an adverse effect on River Pines Cottages, which was eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
