The Loneman Fire Lookout in Glacier National Park is significant as one of a chain of manned fire lookout posts within the park. The low two-story timber-construction structure with a pyramidal roof was built in 1933.[2] The lookout uses a standard design originated by the U.S. Forest Service. Built in 1930, it is one several similar structures built in a program to establish an overlapping chain of fire lookouts in the park.[3]
