L. H. Recker Fire Station - Firehouses on Waymarking.com

I could not find any information on the dedication on the building or when it was constructed - my guess is the 1950's or 60's. The fire station has four windows along the eastern facade. The main, northern facade consists of two double-hung two-over-three windows.
The main overhead door for the equipment is next. Block glass window, a wooden door, block glass window, a metal and glass door, and finally, another block glass window completes the fenestration.
