Built in 1901 and designed by the architectural partnership of Alfred E. McClure and George O. Holmes, Central Station No. 1 was the first fire station built after the Great Fire of that same year. The building was the first structure to rise from the ashes, signifying a beacon of hope for the resurrection of Downtown Jacksonville. More than 120 years later, the historic building still stands out amongst its neighbors, offering a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the reactivation of an icon.
