Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the Knights Ferry Fire Department, ca.1930. The small structure, built in the 1860's, appears to be made of brick and stands center with a tower used to dry the hose. The double doors in the center of the front of the structure are swung inward revealing the equipment that still sits inside. To the right a fan-like tree stands as tall as the tower while smaller trees sit on the left behind a grated metal fence.
Picture file card reads "The park on the left contains monument with bronze tablet telling of the town's history".
