A rectangular brick building labelled 'Fire Station 1904', with two large arched entryways and two arched doorways. A ladder leans against each end of the building. In the foreground the fire brigade pose with equipment. In the background rises a simple triangular observation tower.
Fire fighters outside the station with their horse drawn and hand drawn fire fighting equipment. Firemen sat in the observation tower on the lookout for fires.
