Boulevard Park Fire House

After the earthquake and fires devastated San Francisco in 1906, Sacramento’s Fire Chief, Henry A. Guthrie believed the city needed two new fire houses, one serving the northern region and the other serving the southern region. Within a year, the city had purchased lots in both areas. By fall 1911, the contractor, Murcell & Haley had been selected for the two new structures. One of the facilities located at Boulevard Park was assigned to E. C. Hemmings.

Thank you Catherine Turrill Lupi for providing details about the facility in the October 2018 issue of Park Beat.
