Business Description
CHEMICAL FIRE HOUSE, Monmouth Street
In 1879, a volunteer fire company of 15 men was organized in the Longwood area because the residents in the area felt that this section had such a large amount of unprotected property This company was housed in the Longwood Club stable by permission of Dr. William Lawrence and became Hose Company #3. After one year's service, the Board of Engineers recommended that $400 be allocated to pay the men and make them a permanent addition to the department. The next year saw this volunteer band becoming permanent as Hose Company #3 was housed in a shed alongside the Longwood Club stable on Carlton Street. Soon it was decided to make this company a chemical engine company, and in 1882 a chemical engine was bought and placed into the old wooden shed. There was much concern about the safety of the older building. Two options included building another building or renting the brick club stable building and fitting it up for fire use.

WASHINGTON SQUARE STATION
This brick and limestone stepped gabled station was designed by G. Fred Crosby in 1898. When it was finished, the aerial ladder from the village and the engine #2 from the Devotion Street station were moved here. The huge wooden doors were replaced in 1947. An addition was made on the first floor in 1951. This station stills retains its original hose tower.
