History of the Atlanta Fire Dept.

[quote name='firemick' post='160927' date='Nov 4 2007, 15:11 ']You maybe right. I am doing a proprty appraisal search and it says that the current building was built in 1960. It looks older than that though. Kinda looks like Old Station 21 in Buckhead. On Wikipedia it says this:



Kirkwood was incorporated as an independent municipality in 1899. Governed beginning in 1899 by its own city council and mayor, the town boasted its own water system, school systems and fire department. ...............



and this ................



In 1922, Kirkwood residents voted for annexation into the city of Atlanta.



???? I am confused i guess on the original Station 18 location.[/quote]



I've seen a better picture of the original station and it seems that it was a two story building with windows above the swing open doors. You can barely see the windows in the above post.



As far as I know, the only former fire stations that are still standing are:



#4 - Ellis St. Now a church

#6 - Boulevard and Auburn. Now a museum.

#11 - North Avenue. Now a restaurant / pub.

#16 - Marietta St. Currently vacant

#17 - RDA Blvd. Now a woman's shelter.

#21 - Recently dozed.



Can anyone think of any others? There was a single bay #32 in Sandy Springs, but I have not been able to find it.
