Ballard’s Fire Station No. 18 was in use for 63 years before being retired by the city in 1976. The Germanic Revival brick building was built in 1911, and was designed by Seattle architects Bebb & Mendel. It's an incredible building. After it was decommissioned as a firehouse, it was known as the Ballard Firehouse, and "classic" rock bands and others would play there. I remember Foghat appearing there. There was also, in later years, a yoga studio on the top floor. This great space now houses one of my favorite restaurants in Ballard--The Hi-Life.
