Stoneham Firestation

The two-story red brick Renaissance Revival building was built in 1916, and continues to serve as the town's central fire station.

It is an L-shaped brick and masonry structure, two stories in height, with a flat roof that is obscured from view by a low parapet.

There are narrow windows in the tower at the third level, above which is an elaborately decorated cornice.

It has three equipment bays at the front, with office space in the rear portion of the ell.

The tower was a common feature of early 20th-century fire stations, which required space for hoses to dry.
