Henderson Fire Department, Station No. 2 - Firehouses on Waymarking.com

Henderson Fire Station #2 was built in 1908 and was originally a horse-drawn fire company. This fire station is a two-story structure with a clock tower. The clock in the tower is still operable and chimes every hour.

The apparatus floor still has grooves in the floor, where horse urine was able to drain away. The side door on Young Street has rounded granite corners, so if the hubs of the horse wagon hit them going out of the door they would not get stuck. The inside of the clock tower has hooks, with which the fire hose was pulled up to the top for drying. A shiny brass slide pole still stands inside.
