The Phoenix fire station

Rhode Island · USA · House

This fire station at Coventry, Rhode Island was built in 1887 and served as the village meeting hall as well as the fire department.

In the early 1900s the gatherings held inside it included weddings and wakes.

That combination is the whole of this entry and it explains everything reported since. The same room in which a village married its young people is the room in which it laid out its dead, and a mill village of that period had nowhere else large enough for either.

Both staff and visitors have seen figures passing through the entrance.

A working fire station is also continuously occupied, which means the accounts come from people who are in the building at three in the morning as a matter of routine.

The station is a working fire department.
