It is the oldest remaining firehouse in the city of Detroit;[3] it was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1975[2] and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1] HistoryAccording to the September 9, 1883, edition of the Detroit Free Press, William Scott & Company was the architect of the building. Detroit's Engine Company No. 11 was organized as the "Steam Fire Engine Company #11" on January 1, 1884. The original equipment included a horse-drawn Silsby Steam engine and hose reel cart.[3] The company converted to motorized operation in 1916, obtaining a Seagrave gasoline propelled pumping engine.[3] The firehouse tower on the southeast side of the building was shortened during World War II so an air raid siren could be installed.[3] In 1972, Engine Company No. 11 moved to new quarters. The building was used by the Emergency Medical Unit until 1976, and then as a Detroit Fire Department museum, containing several pieces of historic fire fighting equipment.[3] DescriptionEngine House No. 11 is a {{frac|2|1|2}}-story brick building with a hipped roof. The front facade contains a wide center section flanked by two small bays. The first story of the center section contains four wide doors, the second story has two large windows. A dormer atop the center section contains the attic story. A hose-drying tower is centered on the east side of the building. This tower had an air raid siren installed during World War II, which reduced its height somewhat.[4] On the interior, the first floor contains the apparatus room, kitchen, dining area and a lounge. The walls are wainscoted, and the ceiling is plastered. The second floor contains a dormitory style sleeping quarters, showers, locker room, and two private sleeping rooms for the Captain and Lieutenant. At the rear of the dormitory, but on a slightly lower level, is a room that was originally the hay loft, but has been turned into a recreation room.[4] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|2008a|dateform=mdy}} {{National Register of Historic Places listings in Wayne County, Michigan}}2. ^1 {{cite web |author = Michigan State Historic Preservation Office |title = Engine House No. 11 |work = Historic Sites Online |publisher = Michigan State Housing Development Authority |url = http://www.mcgi.state.mi.us/hso/sites/24753.htm |access-date = September 3, 2010 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120115033341/http://www.mcgi.state.mi.us/hso/sites/24753.htm |archive-date = January 15, 2012 }} 3. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web |author = City of Detroit |author-link = Detroit |url = http://www.ci.detroit.mi.us/historic/districts/engine_11.pdf |title = Engine House #11 |publisher = City of Detroit }} 4. ^1 {{cite web |title = National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form: Engine House No. 11 |first = Clarence C. |last = Woodard |url = https://catalog.archives.gov/id/25341170 }} 8 : Defunct fire stations in Michigan|Buildings and structures in Detroit|Fire stations completed in 1883|Fire stations on the National Register of Historic Places in Michigan|Michigan State Historic Sites in Wayne County, Michigan|National Register of Historic Places in Detroit|1883 establishments in Michigan|Detroit Fire Department |
