Built in 1900, this fire hall had a fire bell atop the hose drying tower and electrically coded fire bells inside connected to pull boxes all over town. 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. The building is one of the many Rossland Heritage Buildings in the town.

The building sits on the northwest corner of Queen Street and First Avenue in Rossland. The view is across the intersection looking northwest.
Year photo was taken: ca 1910
