The CCC built this lookout for the Sierra National Forest in 1934. CDF assumed sole operation of the lookout in 1952, adding the room beneath the cab soon thereafter. The stairway was recently replaced with a nearly free standing structure adjacent to the lookout tower. It radically alters the traditional appearance of this facility. This is the only L-SOl in the CDF&FP fire detection system with the original BC-301 cab. (MVT 10/91)
