Regarding Engine Co. No. 28. A former Los Angeles City Fire Department fire station, built in 1912 at a cost of $50,000, the structure served as an operating fire station until it was closed in 1967. One of the first reinforced concrete fire stations in the city, it is a Class A fireproof structure built of brick, tile, and concrete. In 1979, the building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In 1988 it was designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 348.
In the late 1980s, it was renovated as a restaurant, "Engine Company No. 28", that served food based on recipes from American fire houses.
The building was featured in the 2011 video game L.A. Noire.
Since 2007, the building has housed the law firm Geragos & Geragos, and is owned by Mark Geragos.
