Summary

Description
English: Engine No. 26 Firehouse, 693 Tonawanda Street at Progressive Avenue, Buffalo, New York, May 2020. The Chateauesque-style design, the work of architect Frederick W. Humble, is at first blush somewhat reminiscent of those on the Queen Anne-style, National Register of Historic Places-listed Engine No. 28, built three years later on East Lovejoy Street - the steeply pitched hipped roof and the twin turrets flanking the façade (round and conically-roofed here; octagonal and tent-roofed on its counterpart) are commonalities - but witness also here the subtle details in the brickwork such as the splayed lintels and Gibbs surrounds ornamenting each window, the corbeling work on the elliptical-arched vehicle entry facing Tonawanda Street, the quatrefoil pattern in the copper sheathing just below the tower roofs, and the rough-hewn stone foundation. One of the earliest buildings in the neighborhood, the firehouse enjoyed an unimpeded view of the Niagara River at the the time of its construction in 1894; it remains an active-duty fire hall today and was named a City of Buffalo landmark in 2018.
