DESIGN - The L- shaped building is organized into three distinct elements: a firehouse, an ambulance garage, and a community hall. Each has its own specific street presence, but the common facade treatment allows each function to gracefully transition into the next. The low-wrap around wall at the corner suggests the porch of a grand home, fronting a central pitched roof structure. To further contrast the "porch" with the "house" behind it, the forward screen wall is of a deep red brick while the community hall behind uses a lighter, red-toned brick.
