The former station's plot of land at Pasadena Ave & North Avenue 19 now houses the LAFD's supply and maintenance yard.

P. K. Schabarum and Charles O. Brittain of the Los Angeles City Department of Construction were responsible for the station's design.

[2] When the new station opened on March 6, 1941, the two-story, reinforced concrete structure housed Engine Company No.

When Ordinance 205 went into effect in 1886, 31 volunteer firefighters from 4 existing volunteer companies became LA's first professional firemen, including members of the 38s, then based at Plaza Station in the historical Los Angeles Plaza.

[5] The 38s would disband and become LAFD's Engine Company Number 1, moving into Fire Station No 1 across the river at 1901 Pasadena Avenue in 1888.
