' Constructed from plans drawn by the NPS Branch of Plans and Desigi under the supervision of Acting Chief Architect Edwin A. Nickel, this lookout was one of the four fire lookouts of similar design constructed in the park between 1932 and 1934 (MORA DRG. NO.95). No sooner were Mbunt Freemont and Tolmie Peak lookouts coirpleted wiien a wind storm tore their roofs off. The lookout measures 14' x 14', with a floor size of 200 square feet for each story. The balcony decking needs to be replaced, and the wooden railing is very low. The entire lookout needs to be painted. The lookout is presently manned on weekends during the summer season for visitor assistance and interpretation. Sfair □deteriorated □ruins 14 CONDITION □ excellent □ good 15 danger of demolition? □ yes □no ^unknown (SPECIFY THREAT) IE SIGNIFICANCE Tolmie Peak is one of the four remaining fire lookouts at Pbunt Rainier. They are all of similar design, and con­ structed between 1932 and 1934. These lookouts have played a significant role in the protection of natural resources in the park and in the surrounding national forest lands. Although aerial fire detection has somevhat reduced the importance of lookouts in recent years, they still play a significant role in visitor interpretation and assistance, as a backcountry patrol base, and during extreme fire danger periods. nA Fonn (MQ aum Afpiaiti No. iot4«>ii United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number Page Mt.

Carpenter, Landscape Architect recommended the design. Typically, the ground floor was used for storage and the one-room upper floor contained the fire finder, charts, supplies, a bed and cooking facilities.
