The observer's cabin is of light frame construction, sheathed with board and batten siding stained brown. In 1968 an access road was constructed to facilitate repairs, with both the tower and cabin being upgraded that same year. The station became a volunteer-run reserve lookout in 1989 when New York State ended its fire observation program. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.
