Charlotte Fire Station No. 6

The Charlotte Fire Station No. 6, erected in 1928-1929, was designed by Charles Christian Hook (1864-1938), an architect of local and regional significance. The Charlotte Fire Station No. 6 has served from the outset as the fire station for the Eastover, Myers Park, Crescent Heights, and Elizabeth neighborhoods. Charlotte Fire Station No. 6, one of three fire stations which Hook designed in Charlotte and which, happily, survive, was part of a major expansion program instituted in the 1920's by Hendrix Palmer, Charlotte Fire Chief. Charlotte Fire Station No. 6 is an excellent example of non-residential architecture which harmonizes successfully with the surrounding neighborhood.
