The listing included five contributing buildings and one contributing structure: a dwelling, a bunkhouse, a storehouse, a woodshed, an outhouse, and a "Fly Shed". The Fly Shed, a 21 by 30 feet (6.4 m × 9.1 m) structure built of logs and canvas, was built in 1918; the rest of the complex was complete by 1935.[2]

The NRHP nomination asserts that "the guard/ranger station complex is among the most remote in the lower 48 states."[2]
