It was built around 1895 as the first fire station on the Iron Range, when the wooden construction, crowded lots, and inadequate plumbing infrastructure of the early mining boomtowns made fire a particular danger.[2] Tower Fire Hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 for its local significance in the theme of social history.[3] It was nominated for reflecting the region's serious danger of and response to fires.[2]
