I showed this old Engine house earlier this year, here. I was at the business next to it today and thought it looked pretty in the setting sun, so I'm sharing another shot of it.
Here's a little history of this building.
This is Engine House #5. It was originally built in a nearby city in 1880. It was scheduled to be demolished in the 1990's. A local man who owns a fire services business bought the building for $1 and had it taken down brick by brick and re-assembled in our town. It's now a Fire Museum, which houses his collection of antique fire trucks and other firefighting equipment.
