The McAdam Booster is recognized for its association with the McAdam Canada Pacific Railway Station. 

The booster station was built in 1931, about thirty years after the original McAdam Railway Station. As time had gone on since the station's opening, new technologies had been rolled out that allowed for quick and efficient communication via telegraph and commercial wireless signals. The booster station was thus built to house equipment that would strengthen or boost these signals, in turn helping foster communications between stations and improving the services provided to passengers on C.P.R. lines.

Regarding its architecture, though compact and utilitarian, the Booster Station nevertheless mimics the basic style of its grander companion. The brown one-story stone massing sports a red hipped roof with dormers.
