Construction has officially begun on the new firehouse at 53 E. Pershing Road, which will serve Engine 16, Ambulance 35, EMS Field Division South, and 5-1-1. The site has been cleared of the old warehouse and basement, and the foundation work is now underway with preparations for the footings.

The design features a more modern, squared-off look with extensive use of glass. Unlike many other stations, which have an angled awning-style roof over the apparatus bays, this one has a flat roof. The brick trim at the top of the walls is different, and there’s more glass inside the structure rather than all-brick walls. It also includes a square hose tower, which contrasts with the rounded ones seen in some other stations. Additionally, the windows are both horizontal and vertical, whereas older designs often had only one type.

This house at 21 W. 59th Street is home to Engine 84, Truck 51, Ambulance 36, and Deputy District 5. This building has a rounded hose tower which differs from the square design for Engine 16 and Engine 109. Hank Sajovic photo

Chicago Fire Department fire house Engine 59 Engine 70

This house in the 9th Battalion is known as the 'Full House' since it is home to Engine 59, Engine 70, Truck 47, Ambulance 13 and Battalion 9. Located at 6030 N. Clark Street, it has no hose tower and a much smaller footprint on the 'front' end when compared to Engine 18's house. Hank Sajovic photo

Stations with hose towers typically include a conventional door within the overhead door of the apparatus bay closest to the street.
