This Fire Department Headquarters was built in 1939 as a WPA project. This facility closed in 1976 when the fire department relocated. The building was later used for a variety of uses. It was condemned in 2005 and nearly demolished in 2006. Although the building was restored, I believe it is still vacant. For more, see this website.
