The station was deemed "significant for its association with the development of Tacoma's port/industrial district and the growth of the city's vital municipal services. The station is also an important local example of innovations in fire station design that followed the motorization of firefighting equipment."
It was the city's smallest fire station, and a picturesque one. It was designed by architect Morton J. Nicholson, and is Craftsman in style.[2]
Built in 1928 as part of a bond-funded project that built three other stations, as well as the Fire Alarm Station. While fireboats were still housed there in 2008, the station itself was no longer staffed.[3]
