Our Location: 

Built in April 1915 by local architect, James F. Gause, Engine Company 2 was home to six men, two horses, and a two-horse hose wagon. The Station used horse-drawn wagons until 1918 when the last fire horse was retired. Engine Company 2 was relocated in 1956. Over the years it has been both a residential and commercial space. In 2017, the building was upfitted as an event space and opened to the public.
