The tower was built in 1936. It is an Aermotor Company tower topped with a 7x7 foot (2.1x2.1 m) galvanized steel cab and is the last tower of its type still standing in a wilderness area. The cabin was added as a residence for the lookouts in 1939. It remained in use for its intended purpose until 1997, when it was decommissioned.[3]
