Summary
DescriptionHouston Fire Station No. 7.jpg
English: Houston's oldest fire house, this building was designed by Olle J. Lorehn and was completed in January 1899 and opened the next year as the first paid station in Houston. The two-story brick structure features rusticated stone details, a five-bay front with central arched entry flanked by two apparatus bay entries, and unique parapet details. Updated in the 1920s to change from horse-drawn to motorized equipment, the station remained in active service until 1968.
Today it serves as the Houston Fire Department Museum
