Шаблон:Infobox NRHP Engine Company 29, at 4811 MacArthur Blvd. NW in Washington, D.C., is a fire station built in 1925. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]

It was designed by architect Albert L. Harris in Colonial Revival style.

It has also been known as the Palisades Firehouse and as Engine Company No. 29.[2][3]

It was designated a Washington, D.C. historic designation on July 22, 2004. According to the DC Office of Planning,[3]

The Palisades firehouse was the city’s first one-story firehouse, and one of two prototype Colonial Revival firehouses dating from 1925. In that year, the fire department completed its conversion to all-motorized apparatus, enabling a more rapid response and necessitating fewer firehouses overall. But facilities grew larger, and in outlying suburban areas, more land was available to spread the stations over a more convenient single floor. The design is among the most successful of Municipal Architect Albert Harris. Following neo-Georgian principles, the main block of the front-gabled brick building is symmetrically composed, but the dormitories are placed to the side in a secondary wing, creating a T-shaped plan. A majestic four-story hose tower rises at the rear, balancing the design and creating a conspicuous neighborhood landmark.[3]

The department's Robert “Bob” Marshall "loved firefighting so much" that he commuted 80 miles to work there, before he was killed in a non-work-related accident in 2018.[2]
