Now a Museum

 

When it was a working firehouse, it was home to Engine Company 45, as you can see.  But that was in 1906.  Today, it houses the Fire Museum of Greater Cincinnati.

 

And of course, you're already aware that the Cincinnati Fire Department, which is celebrating 160 years, was the first paid fire department in the nation.  And if you really dig this theme, as I unabashedly do, there are many more pictures of old fire houses, including most featured here.
