The original Central Fire Station at this location was constructed in 1909, as part of City Hall. The station was remodeled by the WPA and continued to serve as the only firehouse in Ada until the modern Fire Station #2 was constructed. This station is no longer in use as a firehouse; peering through the windows indicates that it is now used by the city for general storage.
