Fire Station No. 1/Denver Firefighters Museum

1326 Tremont, Denver 80204

The Renaissance Revival style two-story building, of tan brick, was constructed in 1909 as the new home of Denver's Engine Company #1. Designed by the architectural firm of G.W. Huntington & Company, the second floor of the facade is divided into three bays by brick pilasters that extend to an elaborate cornice. At the second story, the center bay includes a recessed balcony defined by a large round arch springing from double pilasters.Originally housing fire wagons and horse stalls, the building was altered in 1934 to accommodate large up-to-date motorized fire trucks. The station remained in active service until 1974. Since 1978, the building has served as a museum, housing records and artifacts associated with the Denver Fire Department.
