Pic of the belly-up project I was talking about earlier. 39 stories. FS located in the lower right hand corner. 12,000 sq. ft.. As I said, the City was going to get this for the $450/mo HOA fees. The project is still listed on the drawing board, but......
I try to get the web conection. Try www.gearfuse.com and then in search put in Why Such A Fancy Fire Station and the item will come up.
Here's another view of this station
http://www.archdaily.com and under search put fire station and see what the interior looks like.
Kentland was the dept that wanted to build the apartment building behind their station.
One station near Kentland bought all the property around their station because of all the money they got from vagas games that depts ran for a while. They bought the whole block.
That was Bladensburg VFD.
