Fire Station One
Artistically etched crystal glassware.
Historical biography by Nelson Harris:
Located in the Roanoke City Market Historic District, Fire Station No. 1 was completed in 1907 in the Georgian Revival style of an Edwardian-era firehouse. The cupola was modeled after Independence Hall in Philadelphia and provided a full view of the city at the time of its construction. Originally designed to accommodate horse-drawn fire apparatus, the station served the city for a century. Closing in May 2007, it was one the longest continuously operating firehouses in Virginia.
Today this signature structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and remains a vibrant part of downtown Roanoke having been repurposed as a showroom, bistro, and boutique hotel.
