Funky Firestation - # 08/38

In the 1890s there was an outbreak of civic and imperial pride that produced amazingly ornate and highly decorated neo-gothic style firestations. The Brentford firestation was no exception. Today, the building has been converted into a slick bar and restaurant.

  3. Great looking stonework. Also like the typeface used for the name. I believe it's called Broadway.
