Here is the photo of the total Firehouse. I thought you all would enjoy seeing it. I wonder if I should post the whole building for the Frames Contest.(?) I hope they never tear this building down. It's a rare beauty, so leaving it, would be so nice for Portland. I love the little red door. Thank you so much for any comments or critique.

Verena - I like the full-size view of this unique building. Though, for the contest, your first post would get my nod. Thad

That is a quaint old firehouse and I can imagine the old horse drawn fire trucks coming out.

It would be a shame if they ever tore that building down. It's a piece of history, and still gorgeous. Excellent shot, Verena.

great building with wonderful colors, might be old as well, so they should keep it as part of the history of the town...

Great shot Ms V ... alot of great detail ...You don't see this type of construction down here in Florida to much .... kind of reminds me of the old Fire houses up in Chicago while I was growing up ... I hope they preserve this building ...
