Английская Википедия:Florence Firehouse
The Florence Firehouse is located at 8415 North 29th Street in the Florence neighborhood in the north end of Omaha, Nebraska. Built in 1888, it housed Florence Hose Company #1.[1]
History
The original Florence Fire Station was a "temporary" wood structure built in 1854 by the Florence city council. Located at the intersection of State and 4th Street, now called 29th Street, the Firehouse was simply a large garage that could accommodate two horses and the fire rig.
The city built a new structure of brick in 1888, and the volunteer firemen were called Fire Hose Company #1. When the City of Omaha annexed Florence in 1917, they immediately abandoned the station. In 1998 it was purchased by the Florence Historical Society.[2]
