Upper Arlington closed Station 73 on Coach Rd. They moved M-73, Battalion 72, Prevention, and the EMS coordinator from that station to the new station 72. The closed station will serve as a place to park extra equipment. The new station 72 also houses all fire department administation, some police administration and the police gun range in the basement.

Thanks for the updated info. So they are down to just the 2 stations? I still want to stop by and look at the Seagrave. I managed to see it up in Jackson, MI right after the restoration was completed. I'd like to see it again some time and get a nice photo of it.

Columbus' Station 10 is really nice looking! Nice to see some departments using older architecture instead of the prefab stuff.

You Win!!! Thanks for playing our game. I was being a little snarky when I posted the original question. I don't think I'ver ever seen a new station built that close to the old one. I've seen them knock the old one down & use the site again. Any way, it sure makes it easy to compare the 2 structures. I think old 10's is on the historic list so it's not going any where soon.

Buckeye 53;

Yes, I am happy to see it was not smashed in the name of "progress." Is it [or will it] be used to house a dept. antique or memorabilia ? Looks like it would be a real nice museum or alarm equipment display. We begged the city to keep one of Massillon's 1900 stations back in the '70's, but lost.

By the way, Massillon's (1893) former central, was nearly a carbon copy of Columbus (1892) No. 2 station, except the the bell-tower was reversed. It cost +/- $23,000, and was smashed for the new city hall in 1970...page 5 - starting at photo 14
