Historical significance (include explanation of themes checked above) The Providencce Street Firehouse is a two-and-one-half storey brick building with a rectangular floor plan and square-plan tower on its north wall.
Although its scale and plan aze similar to other firehouses of the period, the Providence Street Firehouse is unusual for its heavy (Beaux Arts) classical trim, particularly its entry set in an eared architrave with rosettes and a pediment. Second storey windows retain original sash and are set in heavy sandstone architraves. Recently restored, the Providence Street Firehouse is in excellent condition. Built to serve the residential areas with which Union Hill was developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Providence street Firehouse was designed for the city's Hose Company No.8, which had been formed around 1876. 10.
