The building belongs to the inhabitants of Cornish and serves as both a public auditorium and as the location of the town?s administrative offices. Since its construction, it has also been the site of its annual town meetings and elections.

Significant in the development of Maine's outdoor image were the sporting camps that catered to those who sought an authentic "wilderness experience" in the later decades of the nineteenth century. These camps, which were invariably located upon rivers and lakes or set in vast tracts of forest, helped to foster this image by developing isolated retreats that offered excellent hunting and/or fishing.

As was the custom among the Swedish immigrants to northern Aroostook County, the home that Pehr J. Jacobson erected was of log construction, and this house is one of several examples that help to illustrate the diversity of interior and exterior plan utilized by the immigrants in New Sweden and surrounding towns. Jacobson, who arrived during the initial establishment of Maine's Swedish colony in 1870, probably built his house shortly thereafter.
