[3] In 1915, the Life-Saving Service was combined with the United States Revenue Cutter Service to create the United States Coast Guard,[4] and the name of the Eagle Harbor Life-Saving Station was changed to the Eagle Harbor Coast Guard Station.

The building has a hip roof clad in what may be original cedar shingles, and walls covered with wide exposure wood weatherboard siding.

There is a chimney on one side and small gabled dormers with round-head double-hung colonial windows in the roof on all the other elevations.

[3] The interior of the building contains one large open space, with concrete flooring gently sloping toward one end.

The Keweenaw County Historical Society has filled the interior with displays of Life-Saving Service and Coast Guard artifacts, including rescue boats and equipment of the types used at this station.
