Comparison with historic photographs taken in the early 1940s indicates that no remodeling has occurred on any of the structures at this site. The entire complex has retained its original integrity of design, construction, workmanship, materials, location, setting and association and is recommended for National Register eligibility. The boundary of the PS Knoll lookout complex is a square that measures 120 ft by 120 ft with the tower at the southeast corner of the property. The area surrounding the complex within the boundary is not considered a "buffer area," but is integral to the setting of the property.
