Old Fire Station, Main Street, Allanton

The Old Fire Station on Main Street in Allanton dates back to 1815, with later additions and alterations. This single-storey, single-bay building was originally a classical stable with a hayloft and is located next to the Allanton Inn to the north. It is constructed of sandstone rubble with stugged ashlar dressings, and the south elevation features whinstone.

On the west elevation, there are advanced engaged piers that break the eaves in a coped wallhead, which includes a blinded round arch and a tall coped parapet flanked by consoles. A modern garage door is present here. The south elevation has a window located towards the outer right, while the north elevation features a boarded door.

The roof is covered with piended slate, showcasing alternating bands of purple and green slates. There is a gabled dormer on the south side and a half-piended hayloft dormer on the north side.

Inside, the floor is laid with setts, and there is a timber stair leading to the loft.
