"Fire Headquarters is located at 400 Walnut Street. The facility was designed by Livesay and Wiedemann Architects, and built by McDaniel Brothers Construction in 1927 for $85,000.
Listed as a historical landmark by the Texas Historical Commission, influences of the Spanish Renaissance revival, which was popular at the time, are evident in the red brick ornamentation and the geometric tile work under the eaves of the roof.
The Administration & Finance, Planning, and Logistics Sections are housed at Fire Headquarters, which includes the Fire Museum of Texas."
