Examining the plans for the new SPR stations in the lobby of Fire Station No. 3

Before anything was moved, taken down, or renovated in Fire Station No. 3, SPR held the first public open house of its future home. In May 2014, staff members brought visitors around the two-story historic building. Visitors heard about items from the past and how the building would function in the future.
