Driving through the town of Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, I was able to make out an interesting building at 330 Center Avenue. I asked my husband to go around the block so that I could get a picture of it, to be able to enlarge it to better see it. As we pulled up in front of the structure, Mister Rain described it, adding, “It’s the fire department.”
Later, when I looked at the picture I had taken on my iPad, I thought sure that the building was now a residence based on the curtains in the windows and the snowflakes that decorated the panes. I came to find out, however, that in fact it is still home to a volunteer fire company who just celebrated their 150th anniversary in 2024.
As much as I liked the idea of someone living in the former firehouse, I love that instead it is still serving the purpose it was built for a century and a half ago. Keeping a community safe never gets old.
