Oops! I got the two fire stations mixed up! Mr. Burd designed both.
#3 is the one we got all the different drawing versions for, but we also got lots of drawings and photos of #2 which include the display board of materials and the red-clad concrete block.
The red on station #3 is actually special red BRICK from Italy. (per Mr. Burd.)

Gene Bennett retired from Columbus Fire Department Jan. 1,1968. Sadly he passed away Feb. 7, 2010 Myself, and many others, had some, shall we say, less-than-pleasurable experiences with Mr. Bennett at the old Francis Thomas Comfort orphanage. May he rest in peace.

We here at the Columbus Indiana Architectural Archives are putting together a display of the history of fire houses here in Columbus. It will be part of the "159 Years of Columbus History" celebration which will be held here at the library on Friday, September 13th and Saturday, September 14th. Our display will be in the gallery space here at the library and we hope to leave it up through the end of the year. I have snagged some information from this site to include in our display. There are so many good photos and so much interesting information that will help make our display more complete. Hope many of you will be able to stop by sometime during the display and take a look!

Does anyone have any pictures of the Big Blue fire that broke out March 18, 1990 - it was my first major fire during my 3rd year on the department.
