gto250us Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Any one have any info on the old firestation at 1702 Washington? The place is an old brick station built in 1940. It is currently owned by Joe Presswood. He runs restaurant supply - autions in houston. I wonder if he has any plans for the building. It is small but has great character. Right next door at 1708, 1716 & 1722 condo/townhomes were built. It would be a shame for the firestation to go the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 They just started doing some renovation last week. I don't know if they have a tenant or just sprucing it up.At one time, the plan was to put lofts in there. Then, apparently they decided to rent it out as restaurant space. Don't know if they have any takers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be interested to know how they got the brick so clean. Boy I would love to live in that building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a "modern" single-bay, two-story brick building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gto250us Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 You thought correctly. Fire Station No. 6 (see photo via link) In 1903, another No. 6 fire station was constructed at 1702 Washington Ave. and Ash Place. It was a "modern" single-bay, two-story brick building.that looks about right, 1903. The Harris County Tax office says that it was built in 1940. Leave it to the government to get it wrong.
