Firehouse, 1891

Modern For Its Time

The 1891 brick firehouse represented the most advanced and up-to-date firefighting capabilities when Julius Deming Perkins had it constructed. The tall tower extending from the firehouse in the image above (c.1940) was a hose tower, where the canvas firehose was hung to dry after each use. As the importation of rubber increased in the nineteenth century, canvas hoses became obsolete and eventually the ornate tower was removed from the building, leaving its exterior much the same as it remains today.
