It looks as though the engines have been in and out a few times since it snowed. I wonder if it was 'business' or just 'pleasure'. The actual station is about the same size as some of the fire stations near to where I live. However over the years several of them have essentially closed down in rationalisation exercises.

This one was scheduled to be torn down, but the firemen loved it so much, they got together and came up with a redesign that was less expensive than a new station, so the city manager went for it, and old No. 1 was saved.

Good on them, and good on 'powers' for their change of mind.

That is a handsome building.
I can't imagine anyone wanting to demolish it.
Congratulations to your city manager for having an open mind.
Mickey
