MAIN STREET FIRE
HOUSE
1911
From the early 1850's until
1861 there were a series of wooden structures on this lot. They were used for
a variety of purposes, including a home and a fruit stand. In 1861 the the engine
company leased the small one story building that then occupied the lot and used
it as a fire house.
In 1910 the building was
torn down. In 1911 the present structure was built. In 1952 the State purchased
the Fire House for one dollar and added the garage to the back of the building
in 1957.
