The Seattle Municipal Archives recently posted this old shot of the Wallingford Firehouse c. 1914 to the Wallingford Flickr pool:
Now, of course, it’s the 45th St Clinic. But look at those roads people. Anyone still want to complain about the city’s plowing efforts this past winter?
Cool picture!
Looks like the little house west of the Clinic is there, too. Records say it was built in ’08… I don’t remember the building being a firehouse, just the north precinct for SPD. One block from Lincoln High School, during the turbulent ’60s.
Great photo! Alan beat me to it. In 8 zillion years of living here (since 1974), I missed the firehouse; I personally loved having the SPD North precinct here. If the cops had nothing else to do, they’d just cruise around the neighborhood. We had way less stupid crime then.
