Fire (Station) in the Hole

I’ll let the pictures do the talking. If you are not sure what you are looking at check out the official artistic drawings and blueprints. in the “Architectural Drawings” tab above.

Starting off, as usual, on Old Dominion, front of the station. In sequence – SW, straight ahead, SE. For the first time you can really visually appreciate how tightly fit this station is on the lot.

Looking west from the western edge of the Koons Garage: first pic is the eastern side of the main entrance — behind this wall will be reception and storage; second pic is the beginnings of the eastern wall of the entire building.

And finally, the foray onto 21st Rd, the back side of the station.  Two pics: NW and straight down. Right now the station looks most impressive from this birds view perspective.

Cinder blocks are starting to take the form of the fire station. I’ll start off from 21st Rd looking down to Old Dominion (back side of the FS3) because that is the best view because of the scaffolding — not much to see from Old Dom because of that. Right now it kind of looks like recovered ancient ruins.

West end of the station-to-be: looking straight-on and wide angle view:

The west side looking slightly NE toward Old Dominion and the on Old Dominion looking SE:

Nothing to see here — looking SW at the edge of the Koons Garage:

A little early :

The final building permit for FS3 was issued today. The building skeleton should be up by the end of the month according to the latest county update. I haven’t had time to take pictures for a few weeks but will soon…ish.
