Inscription. The Lawrenceburg Volunteer Fire Department was established in 1882. Company No. 1 was located here on Short Street, and Company No. 2 was near Shipping Street. Both firehouses were identical Queen Anne style buildings built c.1882. The stations had stables at the rear of the building, which housed a horse-drawn pumper to assist at fire scenes. City offices were in the upper story of the firehouse.
