First used in 1912 with a stone shelter 1/8 mile north of the summit, this cabin, built in 1914 of hand-hewn square logs, originally had a 15' pole platform tower above it. When a 16' pole live-in tower replaced it in the 1930's, the platform was removed, leaving the cabin intact. The building is also on the National Historic Lookout Register, and is a twin of the one on Mt. Bonaparte. Some minor preservation has been done to the cabin in recent years by volunteers from the Colville National Forest and Washington Chapter of the Forest Fire Lookout Association.
