Summary edit
| Description |
English: The former Hook & Ladder No. 8 firehouse at 174 Chicago Street, Buffalo, New York, August 2020. Described in its inventory form filed with the New York State Division for Historic Preservation as an "extremely long" two-and-a-half-story brick building (the rear annex once contained a stable and hayloft), the fire station was built in 1895 from a design by the firm of Boughton & Johnson, working here in a restrained Neoclassical style. Witness the variety of arches on the front façade, each highlighted in buff brick and crowned with ornamental cut-stone keystones: a baskethandle arch above the garage entrance flanked by a pair of round-arched windows; segmental arches on the upper story to match those on the side elevations. Buff brick is also used to accent the sides of the façade on the upper story, with angular patterns suggestive of quoins. A third story, richly fenestrated and consisting of attic space, was removed shortly after the fire station's 1978 decommissioning. The building is currently vacant. |
