The Chicago Firehouse - Chicago, IL

The Chicago Firehouse was erected in 1905 to serve the Prairie Avenue Community and many of the first families of Chicago, such as the Marshall Fields, the McCormicks, the Palmers and the Glessners.

The building stands in much of its same splendor today. The tin ceiling, the glazed tile walls, the two fire poles located in the bar, and the chief's wall passed when entering the bar, are all original.

Since opening as a restaurant in 2000, The Chicago Firehouse Engine Company 104 still serves the neighborhood today, but in a slightly different capacity, with its American Classic menu.
