This 1920s fire truck was in use until the 1950s…the fire chief at the time saved it from the scrap pile
Built in 1894, it is the oldest standing firehouse in Atlanta & was instrumental in the desegregation of our city 's fire dept. It is currently a bookstore & museum . Check out the fire engine from1927!
Nice part of the MLK national history center as well .
Atlanta's first Racially integrated firehouse . Yet all the display manikins are al white. ☹
This was one of the south's first desegregated firehouses . It wasn’t until 1963 African American firefighters were hired to work here.
