It was deemed significant architecturally as an outstanding example of "the rustic architectural idiom developed by the Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Region, to impart Forest Service identity and to represent its purposes and ideal, and signifies the agency's particular interpretation of a singular expression of early twentieth century American architectural thought."[2][3]
