PARTLY RESTORED - OLD FIRE STATION ON DORSET STREET
Originally the building was a fire station built to the designs of Charles McCarthy (1857-1947) in the early years of the twentieth century. He also designed the fire station on Buckingham Street. The campanile tower and decorative gable give this building prominence in the streetscape opposite Saint Saviour's Church, and make for an interesting composition of volumes and planes. The moulded brick and limestone detailing display good-quality craftsmanship and add further visual interest to the building.
