Fire Station 311 is found just off Yonge St south of St Clair Ave. When it opened in 1911 it was Fire Station 24 and horses were used to pull the fire wagons. Times have changed and the city has grown a lot but the station still looks grand.

ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful building. Is there cold?
ReplyDeleteNice building in a kind of dutch architecture.
ReplyDeleteWow, this gave my a blast from my childhood. My home town had fire stations that looked very similar to this one with bright red doors. Those images popped into my head.
ReplyDeleteWonderfully classic fire station. Love the red doors, they really make your photo pop. Surprised this station is still active as most have been replaced with much larger, modern buildings.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful building, Pat, like the bright red doors.
ReplyDeleteLove this head on shot, beautiful building with red, red doors :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful architecture!
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day!

What a beautiful building and well taken care of.
ReplyDeleteThere's a building near the C&O Canal in Washington, D.C. that still has an old firehouse sculpture even though it is currently serving as an office for an architecture firm.
ReplyDelete...I've seen a few of these old fire stations, but this one has all of the bell and whistle. It's a beauty and thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I lived on Walker Ave. for 19 years!
ReplyDeleteMagnificent design. Quite a contrast to the contemporary one which I posted today.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful. Here gates are often open. Not so nice.
ReplyDeleteA fine building!
ReplyDeleteGosh that's an amazing piece of architecture Pat, so unusual. Always enjoy seeing the red fire doors 🍄
