North Carolina, Rocky Mount, Fire Station No. 2

The two-story, brick, Mediterranean Revival style Fire Station No. 2 went into service in 1924. Prominent features of the facade are the bracketed, tile pent roof; decorative cast stone bands that serve as the second-story window sills and lintels; sides panels with herringbone brick pattern with the year "1924;" and on the first-floor a cast stone surround that frames the two garage bays. The station was inactivated in 1977. When the photograph was taken in 2023 the building housed offices of the Life Safety and Emergency Management for the City of Rocky Mount Fire Department. The building is located in the Rocky Mount Central City Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a Contributing Building.
