Artist Statement:
Firehouses are an American
tradition. They can be found
in almost every community
across the country. Firehouses
intrigue both young and old.
Whether it is the anticipation
of an alarm, the glistening
fire trucks, or the building's
architectural style. The older
houses, even ones that are no
longer in service, have a
special mystique about them.
One can imagine the history of
fires fought and the
accompanying stories from each
particular house.
While visiting various cities
across America, we have found
firehouse architecture to be
one of the most interesting
aspects of our travels. We
have developed an appreciation
for the plethora of
architectural styles,
influences, and features such
as immense stone or intricate
brick details which make each
firehouse rich with history
and beauty.
--John Allen and Gina Morri...
