It's a combination of bothe being deliberate and coming from real life
inspiration. Growing up in the Northeast, around Boston, there aren't many
"modern" fire stations to draw inspiration from, so I go with what I have. I
do have a few, but I am thinking of redesigning them. I would like to build
a Large Modern station, Rodney Gentry has a Wonderful one on Brickshelf,
but I am lacking the peices right now, and I can't see taking apart any of
my "classic" stations for that project.
