An empty firehouse is going up for auction. Make yourself a nice apartment up top, cars below and a cool way to get downstairs!

That is friggin' cool. Wonder what the estimate is...

As is, it has a nice creepy/haunted vibe about it, but it wouldn't take much to change that.

That's awesome. It'd be a lot of work to fix it up but would be worth it in the end.

I wonder if Annie Potts would be interested in answering the phone there?

Sweet, brass pole already installed for parties!

sadly, the firehouse around here was torn down for a new drugstore. Would have been a cool home.

...complete with the guys' original wood lockers and holes in the floor for the poles (sorry, the two poles are no longer in place).

well there goes that idea

BUT - minimum bid is within challenge budget, so there's that

I've had the same thoughts. When I was running Rescue I'd look at every firehouse I was in thinking "this would work". None of them had the class of the pictured here though.

I like how the hole on the floor where the pole was is covered by an insurance sign.
