Central Fire Headquarters – Pitt Street East – 1928

0524a

A neat shot here of the old Central Fire Headquarters, on Pitt Street. It was located on the north side of the street, directly across from the old City Market, between Windsor Avenue and McDougall. Designed by Albert Lothian, the building was eventually replaced by the current headquarters on Goyeau & Elliot.

The building is typical of Lothian’s work. The pattern in the brickwork is similar to other projects he worked on from the similar era. A neat old Winged Wheel was located on each end of the building. The Colosseum at the Casino occupies the site today.

Have a good weekend everyone, see you back here Monday.
