This old white and red building caught my eye when I was passing through Sebewaing. The sign above the garage door reads, Sebewaing Fire Dept. Station No. I am not sure when it closed but a new fire station sits a few blocks away. The old station is privately owned. Email Address. Sign Me Up. The clocks were moved to city hall. Detroit-born sculptor Edward Chesney created the sculpture of the firefighter rescuing a young child.
Next time you are headed up north on I stop by the memorial. This brown building with a green roof sits in the town of Manton north of Cadillac.
I am guessing the bell was to alert firefighters to a fire and summoned them to the fire barn. The tower in the back was to hang and dry hoses. I did a little research, I am not sure, but I think this is one of the oldest fire stations still standing in Michigan. I did find this old photo of the fire barn and firefighters.
The old Milan Fire Barn was built in and served as a fire station until Over time it also housed the police department, a jail which consisted of a single jail cell , and the city library was housed upstairs. Photo and info on this particular location comes to us courtesy of Detroit Urbex. A deliciously ornate building that has seen only better days, the former 9th Precinct is two adjoining structures—one for offices, one for horses.
Both were built in the s and have endured "some" damage.

Sadly, since then many more have been shuttered [[and some vandalized. January, PM 3. Awesome, thank you. I had found the thread, but not the more recent one. I confess, ahem, to some difficulty finding the search feature of these forums. Think I've got it now! January, PM 4. Join Date Sep Posts 4, The one contribution to the thread I will give. There is a article in the Detroit Free Press that features this firehouse but you are on your own to find it.
Attached Images. January, AM 5.
