Fort Rodman Military Reservation, Fire Apparatus Building, South Rodney French Boulevard, 550 feet west of main entrance, New Bedford, Bristol County, MA
Summary
Significance: The Fire Apparatus Building retains its integrity of location, design, materials, and workmanship. It was built in connection with the development of Fort Rodman during the Endicott Period, an important era in the history of coastal fortifications. The Fire Apparatus Building is also a good example of this type of building constructed according to a standardized plan. Its frame construction is unusual, since most similar Endicott Period buildings at other New England forts were of brick.
