ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Want to buy the Brooklyn Bridge? No? How about an old firehouse?
Right now there are a couple of extremely unusual properties up for sale in Albuquerque. They are fire stations owned by the Albuquerque Fire Department, too old and too small for modern day firefighting, and already replaced by new stations.
First, let’s take a look at old Fire Station 2, on the corner of High St. and Silver Ave. in the Huning Highlands neighborhood between the tracks and I-25. It was built in 1926, the year Route 66 was created and the first Pontiac rolled off the assembly line. “Station 2 was one of the first fire stations built by the Albuquerque Fire Department,” said the department’s information officer, firefighter Melissa Romero. “There’s a lot of history there from the 1920s. We had firefighters, hundreds of them over the years, living here, cooking here, responding out of here.”
