It is speculated that it may have been at this location and torn down much like what happened with FS#5. I have studied the blue prints for this station. This station, by Joseph R. Koberling, was as the blue prints say "to be erected" at 6th and Lewis, are dated 4-24-42. However, fire station #7 was not built until 1947 and those revised blue prints are dated 8-18-47. I believe the original FS#7 may have been like old #8 on Trenton and #9 on Phoenix, judging from the pictures I have seen of it. This was the one of two fire stations that Koberling designed, the other is #14 at 36th and Lewis. November 22, 1966 architect Russell L. Magee remodeled station #7. At this time the screened half circular porch was enclosed, the window AC units were removed with caution because they were property of the firefighters (per the blue prints LOL) and a a roof mounted heating and air unit was installed.<br />Rachel ShoemakerRachel Shoemakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16328052345126213441noreply@blogger.com
