Lookout Mountain, Idaho was first used for fire detection in 1921 with the cupola structure completed in 1929. It was supplemented with a CCC-built L4 tower in 1939. The mountain was abandoned as an active fire detection site in 1947 and the tower collapsed around 1965. In 1977 a steel tower was moved from Packsaddle Lookout and topped with a 12 x 12 wooden cab by the Idaho Dept. of Lands. The original cupola structure--one of only two of its type left--was restored in 1983-1992.
