Central Fire Station, Falmouth

Constructed in 1929, the Central Fire Station's two-story brick structure showcases the architectural finesse of Fitchburg architects Haynes & Mason. The building’s design is marked by the elegant use of Flemish bond brickwork, complemented by wooden quoins that accentuate its corners. Its central doorway, framed by pilasters and topped with a fanlight, serves as a charming focal point.

Adjacent to the entrance, the truck bay on the left and a group of five sash windows on the right feature matching low arched finishes with keystone details, adding symmetry and refinement to the facade. The flat roof, discreetly concealed by a low parapet, enhances the building's clean, streamlined appearance.

Beyond its architectural significance, the Central Fire Station holds historical importance as a community landmark. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998, the station stands as a testament to Falmouth’s dedication to preserving its heritage.
