The Firehouse
2028 Russell Street was built as a firehouse many years ago. While I don’t have time to fully research it at the moment, I read that it also served as a corner store, a beauty salon, and a residence prior to its current state. And by current state, I mean it’s filled with raccoon crap and enough graffiti to keep you busy reading for hours.
There’s no power, so it’s completely dark inside. I had to use a flashlight to shoot this for the listing. Some of the walls are missing, you can see through the floor to the basement in a couple spots, and I’m positive I took a few lungfuls of black mold by accident. I got in before the heat really rocketed to its peak, but that didn’t stop it from being a furnace in there. It wasn’t a comfortable shoot at all.
It’s going on the market for a low price with the understanding that this will require a lot of work to get it ready for habitation. I just hope whoever buys it can fix it up the way it should be.
