Cherrydale Volunteer Fire House, 3900 Lee Highway, Arlington, Arlington County, Virginia

Significance: The Cherrydale Volunteer Fire House was the first such structure to be erected in Arlington County, and houses the county's first (officially organized) fire department. Although the fire department began as early as 1898, it wasn't until 1904 that it was officially established. The need for a permanent firehouse was recognized and in the 1910s community fund-raisers were dedicated to the cause. The building was built in 1919 and operational by 1921.
