FIRE STATION NO. 8

Fire Station No. 8, the second oldest visually intact fire station in Salt Lake City, is historically significant in documenting the expansion and development of the firefighting service in Salt Lake City. It was constructed in 1930 to serve the "outlying" east bench area, one of the fastest growing residential areas at that time. The building's residential appearance reflects the careful attention given to ensure compatibility with surrounding houses.
