"In addition to space for fire trucks and living and kitchen spaces for firefighters, the building also included recreational facilities for neighborhood residents. These included a bowling alley, dance hall, and gymnasium. The mixed-use building serves as an appropriate example of the “welfare capitalism” idea. Johnson’s gift provided local children with a place for sports, while also keeping them off the streets and encouraging physical fitness. The firehouse retains a high level of integrity and continues to serve both of these functions today."
