Description
1905 This building was designed by architect A. Frank Wickson in the Edwardian Classical style to replace an earlier firehall on this site. Marked by arched gables it also features rich contrasts in brick and stone most visible around the grand second-storey window. Fire engines once entered through garage doors (now windows) and fire hoses
This building was designed by architect A. Frank Wickson in the Edwardian Classical style to replace an earlier firehall on this site. Marked by arched gables it also features rich contrasts in brick and stone most visible around the grand second-storey window. Fire engines once entered through garage doors (now windows) and fire hoses were dried in the tower which has since been reduced in size. In 1972 the hall was renovated as a theatre by architect Ron Thom for the Alumnae Theatre Company.
