The brick Queen Anne structure was built in 1881 to a design by local architect William Dennis, and is the oldest active fire station in the city.

The building as designed had a single bay to house a steamer, with space for stabling horses in the rear.

The upper level included a wardroom, which made the station a center for social and civic functions, such as political meetings and elections.

[2] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
