The Apgar Fire Lookout in Glacier National Park is one of a chain of fire lookout posts within the park.[1] The low two-story frame erection with a pyramidal roof was built in 1929.[2] The design originated with the U.S. Forest Service and has been modified and re-used by the Forest Service and the National Park Service in a variety of contexts.[3]
The first lookout at this location was destroyed by fire in 1929, two weeks after its completion. It was immediately replaced with the present structure.[3] The present structure is boarded up and not used.
