Fire House 25 in a drawing by Jim Stevenson from his book, Seattle Firehouses of the Horse Drawn and Early Motor Era. First brick fire house in Seattle. Characteristic arched windows and doorways. Although this was the first fire station in Seattle to be assigned motor driven fire engines, it was originally designed for horse-drawn engines.
