Judging Buildings – Firehouse in Brookland
Here’s the great firehouse located next to today’s ‘Good Deal or Not?’ post on the 1200 block of Monroe St, NE. A friend of mine who lives nearby said it was recently renovated a few years ago. Anyone else know of particularly cool looking firehouses around the city?

I hope your prayers are answered.
I want to party in the cupola of the one at 13th and L!
I want to party in the Brookland firehouse! I want to get out the hoses and spray down some pretty women!!!
Hey I like pretty.
the firehouse on Pennsylvania Ave in hillcrest
the one on north capitol
the one at new york and m
the one at mass and h.
the one at maryland and 13th ne
those are the coolest ones i know of.
The Franklin Park station (on 13th Street between K and L) is really nice. I keep meaning to try and get some good pics of it.
Any idea why this firehouse has a tower on top of it?
Perhaps it was a volunteer fire company at one time. Typically such a firehouse would have a fire bell, or later a “fire whistle” (which often sounds like an air raid siren) to summon firefighters from their jobs or homes in the event of a fire. That sort of thing has been made obsolete by pagers.
Towers are for drying hoses, so that’s what I’d assume this one is for (even though its not that tall). The one at 14th and Newton is a great example of un-cool looking.
14th and Netwon NW that is.
