2400 Mc Kinney Ave on the corner of Leonard and Mc kinney. The gray painted two story building is now home to Accent Gallery and Framing . Just behind this building is Hotel Zaza.
In 1894 this was home to Dallas Fire Station #1 covering the North Dallas and Downtown area.
This station stayed in operation until 1928 when a new station was built on Ross Ave.These were horse drawn fire engines in the beginning . When you go to the State Fair of Texas this year check out the Dallas Fire Department Museum.It is just across the the street from new Dart green line station at Fair park.They have some of the old photos showing the fire engines of the time.
While you are checking out the Old Uptown fire station head down to the other end of this building. Tailwaters Fly Fishing Co. is located at 2416 Mc kinney Ave. If you enjoy fishing or know someone who does then this is the place to go in Uptown. A truly unique store to the Uptown experience. Get on the mailing list they have some great Saturday events.
