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]
