Collierville's Town Square is one of the most charming spots in our area, and visiting there is almost like stepping back in time. It has won several preservation awards, all well-deserved.This is Collierville's Fire House, or Fire Station #1. It is on the east side of the Town Square, and is one of the oldest structures in Collierville. It was originally built in the 1880s, and in its early years housed a blacksmith shop, and then a flower shop. It has been a fire station since the mid-1940s, and was renovated a few years ago. I think that they did a wonderful job...it seems quite current while still retaining its vintage good looks. You can see part of the water tower just behind the building.

I can picture the doors being opened and a truck sitting in front with the firemen outside talking to people in the square. Nice looking fire house.
It doesn't look like a fire station. Just like an ordinary house!
Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and for leaving your comments.

Glad the building is still in use. I need to get out and check the other fire stations around here. I can think of one that looks rather old.
Love these old buildings, this one is a gem!
