Union Fire Company #1, erected in 1869, which retains it original configuration and bold cornice with central semi-elliptical pediment, although its doors have been altered…

The Union Fire Company #1 relies on its projecting cornice for architectural interest. The wooden panel frieze has dentils and four decorated scrolls. A semi-elliptical recessed arch is centered and rises above the roof line.

– National Register Nomination

The fire station has been restored and converted to the Salem Fire Museum. The building appears to be in very good condition.
