This historic firehouse located at 806 East Main Street was dedicated on November 9, 1893. It was the station for Engine Company 3, which was comprised of seven men, three horses, and one La France horse-drawn engine on the lower two levels. The Preston Masonic Lodge occupied the third floor.
Engine company #3 relocated in 1924 and the building went through a number of uses including a ballroom, chemical warehouse, and a photographer’s studio. The building was purchased in late 2006, at which time, the façade was restored to original style and condition, and a full restoration of the third floor was undertaken. The building currently for residental use.
