This building, located at 7543 Main Street, Sykesville, was constructed in 1948 by the Sykesville Volunteer Fire Department as their fourth home. It represented a major fund raising and building project by the entire community and was the first Sykesville firehouse built specifically for this purpose.

The building is constructed from concrete block and has extra heavy steel beams supporting the second floor. Formstone was used to decorate the front facade. The second floor was designed to provide a community events facility with a commercial kitchen. In 1984, the Fire Department sold the building after building a new, much larger facility on Route 32. In 1995, Greenberg Properties removed the 24' wide front overhead door and replaced it with show room windows and a double front door. A Baltimore formstone craftsman was hired to decorate the new section of the front facade with matching formstone.

The building has two floors with approximately 2369 square feet per floor. The building is fully occupied.

The first floor has a large public area, three offices, a kitchen and a storage area. The walls have been recently painted and the carpet is only one year old. There are two bathrooms, including one ADA handicap accessible bathroom. The building is handicap accessible. See Firehouse 1st Floor Plan.

The second floor opens to a large, public parking lot in the rear with two at grade doors. The second floor meets ADA access requirements and has been approved for state licensed child care. See Firehouse 2nd Floor Plan.

Electricity is separately metered for each floor and billed to each tenant. Each tenant pays half of the heating and water bills.The building is well insulated and has efficient, comfortable, low cost oil heat. The building is well maintained.
