A look inside OLD IFD 18
Constructed in 1936, Fire Station No. 18 is a one-story concrete and brick masonry building built
in the Art Moderne style. The building is centered on a central bay, the central apparatus room,
which is comprised of two fire engine bays with overhead garage doors that face southwest onto
W. Washington Street. The footprint is roughly rectangular and measures approximately 62-feet
by 68-feet. Fire Station No. 18’s straight lines are interrupted only at the southeast corner, where
a half-circle convex wall defines the southeast edge of the building.
Fire Station No. 18 is significant for its architecture. It is notable both as one of Indianapolis’s
few public Streamline Art Moderne buildings and as a precedent setting Pierre & Wright design.
Further, Fire Station No. 18 is one of many architecturally significant fire stations within
Indianapolis which span the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and exemplifies 1930s fire station
design.
