Built in 1912, Engine Co. No. 28 answered its first emergency call
on July 23, 1913. At the time, it was the most expensive fire
station in Los Angeles with a construction cost of more than
$60,000. It proved to be a good investment for the city. Over the
next five decades, it would respond to many such calls. The
station's active service ended in 1969, and over the coming years
the building fell into disrepair. In 1983, a five-year preservation
effort began which transformed Engine Co. No. 28 into its current
blend of historic architecture and contemporary design. It is now
home to a popular restaurant, Engine Co. No. 28, a theatre
organization, and a law firm.
For Benchmark seekers, there is an interesting benchmark on the
wall of the building. It's the only vertically placed
benchmark
that I've seen.

High muggle traffic plus a concierge in the building that gave me looks when I walked by a few times. Started to give up until I found it. I need to get a better GPS.
