Being a fan of the old style fire stations like these, I must say, this part of the country is probably one of the best areas for the historic fire stations. Where I grew up they had several of these, and the best part is, most of these are now considered historical, so they can not be torn dowm. They are usually converted into community centers, or elderly housing. Here are several from around me that I just love

I agree. The NE has many inspirational firehouses. Cambridge 4 is my favorite from that bunch. Those stations are all huge! Wow!

Also, being lucky enough to have worked on the Millyard project, I was able to design a station of my own, using the same techniques used to build the Millyard Factories

Great firehouse. I have checked that one out many times before. Excellent detailing.

I have to say, the peoject was one of the most fun I’ve things ever done. Just being able to work with so many bricks, and be able to build something that will be permenant and so historic was such a good time. Just the fact that Kjeld flew all the way from Denmark to be there for the unveiling should be a testament to the scope and importance of this project.

That is one cool project. I might plan a trip to Mass next spring and grab whatever nieces and nephews I can and take them up there.
