| Station 2 opened on March 14th, 1922 in the depot section of town, an industrial area that contained the city's beautiful train station (sadly now torn down). They were known as Hose Company Number 3 in the Depot Station. The station was the first permanent station outside of now Pack Square. It was unique in that it had individual bedrooms but was not built well. The Chief recommended in 1937 to abandon the building and relocate the station. This didn't happen until quite a while later. |
