5 (originally called Hose 8,[2] and also known as the State Street Fire Station), is an historic fire station at 247 State Street in Bangor, Maine.
5 is a two-story brick building, standing on the south side of State Street (United States Route 2), east of downtown Bangor, between Salem Court and Merrimac Street.
It is Romanesque Revival in style, with a dormered hip roof and a three-story hose drying tower topped by an open belfry.
Second-floor windows are recessed in corbelled round-arch openings, and the tower features a band of decorative brickwork below the belfry.
[3] The building was built in 1897 from a design by Bangor architect Wilfred E. Mansur, and represents one of his finest works in the Romanesque style.
