The Station

This is the original engine hall of the Middlesex Hose Company. This section of the building was built in 1942. In 1989 the new engine hall, was built and the fire apparatus was moved there. In 2003 the original engine hall was renovated as part of an extensive building overhaul. The overhead doors were removed and the space was converted into meeting space and a take out area for our Roast Beef Dinners. The old engine hall as it exists today is pictured on the lower left of this page.
