Old Firehouse Doors for Engine Co. No. 2
We were in Wilmington, NC today for lunch with my sister when I saw this old firehouse - see extra for larger view. This house opened in 1915 and closed in 1956. The station housed 6 men, 2 horses and 1 two horse hose wagon. The building is Italianate style, and there was a bell in the tower that sounded alarms until the last horse was retired in 1918. Most of this info is from www.legeros.com, a fire house history site. The station now houses offices.
