Whitney Station

Part of the Whitney Historic District, Whitney Station is an exemplary model of Millard’s Architectural style of exploiting the brutalist functionality of International Style Architecture while simultaneously incorporating neighboring styles of brick and clapboard. Thus the neighborhood of Prospect Hill experiences an architectural taste where industrial and commercial buildings blend seamlessly with the neighboring residences. With historic and current uses both being what the name calls for, a firehouse, the geometrical mass of concrete and brick stands, visible from the street view, but half hidden in the theme of architecture omnipresent in on the street. The firehouse is open to the public during business hours, however there are always officers on duty in case of an emergency in the area. Patriotism flying in not only the American Flag staffed in the front yard but also the painted front bench, Whitney Station is home to Engine Company 8.
