It is significant as one of few privately built buildings in the company town of Potlatch, for its association with the American Legion, and as one of few social settings where company workers and managers interacted. It is a memorial to World War I servicemen from Potlatch. As of 1985 it was owned by the American Legion chapter but was leased out as a restaurant.[2]
