THOROLD'S OLD FIREHALL
1878
12 Albert St. W
The Old Firehall, a landmark in downtown Thorold, was
designed by the architect John Latshaw and built for $2,483.
It has a combination bell tower and hose tower, yellow and
red brickwork, semi-circular wood windows, and a circular
wood window in the gable end at the tower. Decorative yellow
brick arches frame each window. The bell which hung in its
tower remained in use until 1964, when the fire department
moved into its new hall nearby on Towpath Street. In 1967
the old bell was installed outside the new firehall.
