    I've noticed that we have a number of these historic fire stations around the Commonwealth.

    Such a lovely, stately building. The doors are so narrow too. We have a few old stations like this that have now become Coffee Houses!

    None of the fire stations in Texas ever looked like this.

    That's a beautiful old building. So glad that is still in use even if not as a fire station. It has been very well cared for!

    I love red brick buildings. Wouldn't have guessed it was a fire station at one time.
