Significance: The Laona Ranger Dwelling was constructed by local artisans and laborers in 1935 through Economic Recovery Act funding. These two buildings: the ranger dwelling and associated garage, constitute all that remains of the original five building Forest Service administrative complex. The significance of this property resides in its association with the Forest Service's dual mission of conservation and economic revitalization. Further, the Colonial Revival style dwelling embodies a unique character and design created from a standard plan available only to Lakes State National Forests. This ranger dwelling represents the only remaining Standard Plan No. 40 building in existence in the state of Wisconsin, and as such has been determined eligible to the National Register of Historic Places.
