Description
The Fire Company 16 Firehouse is the oldest remaining historic fire station in Cincinnati. Its located in the hilltop neighborhood of Walnut Hills, which was annexed by the city in 1869. The construction of the firehouse, in 1870 was one of the conditions for annexation into Cincinnati. The building was designed by Samuel Hannaford, and is an example of the Italianate architectural style common at that time.
Fire Company 16, used steam-powered fire engines, until motorized fire trucks were introduced in 1918. The station was disbanded in 1978, after a fire damaged the building the previous year.
The building to the right of it, is another historic structure, known as the Hamilton House.
