This building has considerable historical significance as Hull's history is littered with many devastating fires, in particular, the Hull-Ottawa fire on April 26, 1900. Construction of this building began in 1911 and was completed in 1912. It was used as a fire station from May 6, 1912 until it was sold on March 9, 1963. Since then, it has been owned by a number of people including a Portuguese priest who used it as a centre for young people. More recently, it has been renovated into offices and now appears to have been converted to lofts.
