Station 311

The little spotted lions from yesterday can be found by the bench outside this fire station near Yonge & St Clair Ave. The station was built in 1911 and was originally Toronto Fire Station 24 - you can see the old sign near the top of the building. It was designated a National Historic Site in 1990 and is still being used.

    311 is a beaut. Oh my. I was wrong with yesterday's comment. It really was the lions and dalmatians there were carrying on with the hanky panky.

    Classic firehouse. Bet they have a brass pole to slide down.

    Yup! Guarding a fire station is a worthy position for these spotty Leo's , especially a heritage listed beauty like this.. good to know it's still a working fire station Pat.

    There are so few of the historic fire stations left in north America. This one is great. So, no dalmatians just spotted lions.

    I must say that the fire station looks a bit like dutch architecture.

    A wonderful building! Well maintained as it's over a 100 years old.

    Your post reminded me of a local fire station controversy in my area, namely replacing a school with the station.

    That stepped roof is kind of Dutch, don't you think? I wonder if there is a connection.
