Excerpt from the Davenport Architectural/Historical Survey entry on the station, which led to it being listed on the National Register in 1983:

Fire King Engine 2nd Hose Company organized in 1857 as a volunteer fire fighting unit. The Perry Street station occupied in 1878 was their second building. In 1882 when the volunteer force was converted to a paid crew, the Fire Kings became "Hose Company No. 1." Marsh Noe, foreman of the Fire Kings, was named first chief of the paid department.
