"Mayfield Fire Bell. From 1907 to 1925 this bell was used to summon the volunteer firemen of the town of Mayfield, first used at college Ave and El Camino Real. The bell was transferred to the town hall at El Camino Real and California Ave in 1921. When Mayfield joined Palo lto in 1925, the volunteer firemen were replaced by regulars and the bell was retired from service."
