See Fire Station No. 1, Newport, Rhode Island

This iconic building, located in the heart of downtown Newport, Rhode Island. Built in 1885, the fire station has been restored to include functioning barn doors, decorative shingling, oversized windows, brass fire pole, and a 65-foot tall lookout tower, the highest private viewing spot in Newport. It was know as one of the first organized fire companies in America. The steep incline of Mill St provved too challenging for the early model trucks, and after 29 years of service it was closed on Sept 3, 1915. It sold in 2022 for $3,050,000.
