Wrap Text around Image This Art Deco-themed fire house was built in 1939 and still serves as a fire station today. Art Deco elements are obvious in the metal title of the station on the front facade as well as in the streamlined metal window flourishes and top faux railing above the windows. Even the rounded corners of the front windows and beveled glass create a sleek and stylish look that embody the 1930s era very well.

I also found a wonderful website from the University of California at Berkeley that is dedicated to all the New Deal Projects and lists this fire house as a PWA Project here.
