Description
The former Tottenham Fire Station is a fire station built in 1905 by architects A S Taylor and R Jemmett. It is constructed of English bond red brick with Portland stone bands and dressings, and features a hipped Welsh slate roof with a brick stack topped by a moulded stone cap. Designed in the Edwardian Baroque style, the building has two storeys and an attic, with a two-window range. The entrance consists of half-glazed panelled double doors set within square-headed rusticated architraves that have pronounced keystones. Above the doors are segmental open pediments and pulvinated friezes over tripartite sash windows that include glazing bars and balustraded aprons. The attic storey also features similar tripartite sashes beneath a modillioned cornice. The building retains original rainwater heads adorned with modillioned cornices and ball pendants. It is one of three municipal buildings originally interconnected by iron gateways, all designed by A S Taylor and R Jemmett for Tottenham Borough Council.
