Significance: Believed to be the oldest firehouse in continuous use in Indiana, the Washington Fire Company occupies a simple brick building with Greek Revival-inspired pediment. The three original round-headed doorways were removed in 1964 and replaced by an overhead door. In 1848, Matthew Temperley and William or Isaac Dutton designed the firehouse which was completed by 1850.
