This one and a half-story astylistic utilitarian ranger station features a rectangular shaped plan configuration, a concrete foundation, a rock-faced concrete block exterior, wood trim, and an asphalt shingled gable roof with three dormers on the facade. Located within are five garage stalls, two of which are heated and insulated. Concrete comprises the floors on the first story, while maple comprises the floors on the second story. The structure is in good condition. The Lake Tomahawk Ranger Station has functioned as an office, a storage facility of equipment and fire fighting hand tools, and living quarters for the ranger. This station will be closed betwen 1995 and 1997. The functions of the station will be transfered to Woodruff. There is interest in keeping the Tomahawk building standing, however. A related structure to the station is a garage. (See Map Code 11/4). |
