Appearance |
This, two-story, modern building has an irregular footprint. The overall composition exhibits blocked massing associated with Art Deco stylistic influences. The former firehouse is sited midway along the district’s north/south and east/west axes. Its prominent tall tower is visible from much of the district. A poured concrete foundation supports walls clad with brick and a flat roof with a parapet. A shed roof addition projects from the east side. The north side is defined by five garage bays with roll-up metal doors, while the east side has a wood garage door. Original windows include metal awning types and multi-lite steel sash with cast stone or brick sills. Alterations include the east side addition (erected between 1945 and 1949) and boards over some windows. |
