National Honor Bestowed on Charlotte Fire Station

National Honor Bestowed on Charlotte Fire Station

The N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources announced Thursday that Charlotte Fire Station No. 4 is one of six properties in the state now added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Charlotte Fire Station No. 4, at 420 West Fifth Street, was built in 1925-1926 and served the western section of downtown Charlotte and the Fourth Ward from its construction until 1972. It is one of only six pre-World War II extant buildings in Charlotte that are or were associated with firefighting.

The building is considered a rare reminder of what emerging industrial and commercial cities had to do to prevent widespread destruction of its man-made environment by fire.
