Fire Station No. 25
historic place
Fire Station No. 25, a historic place in Seattle, King County, Washington, was built in 1909. It was Seattle's first brick firehouse. The station was initially designed for horse-drawn engines, but later became the first in the city to use motor-driven fire engines. The building features characteristic arched windows and doorways. Fire Station No. 25 was decommissioned in 1970. It was designated a Seattle Landmark in 1976 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building was renovated into 16 townhouse apartments, reopening in December 1980. This site reflects an important era in Seattle's fire service and architectural development.
