[1] The Fabyan Guard Station is located about 0.7 miles (1.1 km) north of United States Route 302, on Cherry Mountain Road near a crossing of Desolation Brook.

It is a single-story log structure, measuring about 16 by 20 feet (4.9 m × 6.1 m), with a gabled roof.

It is built out of spruce logs, with the gaps filled with wooden slats and chinked with oakum.

The main facade has a door on the right, fashioned out of vertical boards, and windows to its left and in the gable above.

[2] The station was built in 1926 by Graham L. Clifford, an early supervisor of the White Mountain National Forest.
