FIREHOUSE NO 5 RESTORED
The old Firehouse # 5 is looking like new. The oak doors have been striped and re-varnished and the 114 year-old bricks look like they were just laid yesterday.
An open house for the newly restored building was 4 PM to 6 PM, Tuesday, September 11, 2007.
The party drew many neighbors, as well as local dignitaries.
The restored firehouse, at 1405 Broadway, will be occupied by the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) Local 124. Downstairs there will be a meeting room and the upstairs will provide a place for recreation. The old brass pole used for fast access to fire equipment is still in place, but is no longer used.
Restoration took over a year and old Number 5 is again a beautiful piece of the Fort Wayne landscape.
