Old Cincinnati Fire Department Station 35, Junietta Avenue and Epworth Avenue, Westwood, Cincinnati, OH

Built in 1907, this Renaissance Revival-style fire station was designed by Harry Hake, and stands at the corner of Junietta Avenue and Epworth Avenue in Cincinnati’s Westwood neighborhood. The brick building’s primary facade features a single fire bay, extensive limestone trim on the primary facade, an arched window on the second floor above the garage bay, a decorative bracketed cornice with dentils, and a limestone panel with “Engine Company No. 35” carved into it above the garage door. The side of the building features a stone base, a simple cornice and a fire hose tower towards the rear, with a bracketed cornice. The building is a contributing structure in the Westwood Town Center Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The fire station remained in operation until 2013, when a larger modern fire station was built on Harrison Avenue further to the east. The building sat vacant until 2021, when it became home to Nation Westwood, a popular restaurant that has rehabilitated the building, retaining most of its historic features and restoring the interior finishes, while adapting it for use as an eatery.
