One of the prime reasons for Rossland’s incorporation in 1897 was the growing need for better fire protection. In early 1900, construction of the brick building was completed. The three large arched doors guaranteed quick departure from the hall. Horses, which pulled the hose carts, were kept in stables in the back and men had quarters on the floor above.
For a time City Hall occupied part of the rear of the building. In 1992 the British Columbia Firefighters Museum moved into the building, but has since moved on, leaving the building empty. It is presently offered for sale.
This building is registered in the Rossland Heritage Register.
