The Firehouse was built in 1901 and closed by the city in 1976. Old No. 12 started out with horse-drawn wagons; the station is reputed to have served as the home to two popular horses in the region, both named Jack, who were known for their speed. The horses were stabled in the rear of the building. Two or three Firemen were stationed in No. 12 at any given time. The original fire pole and stained glass window are currently on display.
