| Additional Information: | SYMMETRICAL FACADE, INTERIOR FIXTURES INTACT SIMILAR TO ELLIS AVE FIRE HOUSE Like the Ellis fire station at 300 Stuntz Avenue, this building is two stories high with symmetrical facade, made of red brick with cement decorative details and moldings. Windows on side blocked in with glass blocks. 2017: When photo was taken, no alterations had yet occurred to the former fire station and was considered for significance under Criterion A: History. In Spring, the building began renovations for use as apartments and, therefore, the building is no longer considered for potential eligibility, as another station of the same era remains largely intact and continues to be used as a fire station. |
