I can imagine fire fighters sitting at a table in an upstairs window playing cards to pass the time when the bell rings and they rush to dress, fly down the pole and jump on the pumper which rushes out one of the big garage doors, siren blaring.
Thanks go out to Kerri, a fellow Canadian, for this week's theme: windows and doors. You'll find the name of Shoot Out participants in the right hand column of this blog.
That is a magnificent building.
ReplyDeletegreat firehouse - love the brick.
ReplyDeletelove the photo, some of the handsomest buildings is when the old and the new have been merged with care. have a great day.
ReplyDeleteScattering....
ReplyDeleteTwo treats for me today...your banner picture and the the firehouse! I really like the effect of the firehouse...looks like a painting and I love your banner picture...so serene.
Have a great weekend.

The old fire hall is a beautiful building Elaine. We have one like it on Birchmount Rd. in Scarborough. It is the oldest fire hall in our city. I wonder if the good looking firemen play poker or bridge? Mmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteThese are our doors and windows to safety. Have a beautiful weekend and I enjoyed your fire hall post.
A great old building Elaine. And I can picture the firemen doing exactly what you describe.
ReplyDeleteI love old fire houses! Thank you for sharing, gives me memories of my time in the USA!
ReplyDeleteThat is really a classic old fire house. Great architecture. It always amazes me that people design in windows in steeples although hardly anyone ever goes up there.
ReplyDeleteIt's very beautiful. I love and appreciate architecture in old buildings too.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo. Somehow it has the mood of a bygone era. As if it's not as happy as it used to be. But, then, I can be a bit over imaginative at times!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful building...wonder if its history goes back to horse drawn fire "trucks".
ReplyDeleteWhat a great coastal home that would be! Nice choice.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful building! I much prefer to think of it as a firehouse than an office building.
ReplyDeleteA building with lots of character.
ReplyDeletethat is a great old building with lots of character. if those walls could talk........ great shoot out!!
ReplyDeleteThat is some fancy building. Do they really have poles? Our local firefighters used to get a kick out my asking why they did not have fire poles.
ReplyDeleteYes, Patty, back "in the day" they would have had a fire pole. But I suspect it's long since gone along with the engines and bells.
ReplyDeleteI love old castles like this! Saw lots of them when in England and Ireland...you have presented a beautiful one!
