The National Register of Historic Places has added Denver’s Fire Station No. 3, Denver’s longest continually operated firehouse, to its list as a part of the “Colorado Heritage for All Initiative” spearheaded by History Colorado. Officials from the city and History Colorado held a dedication event on Thursday at the station.
According to a release from History Colorado, the station has been recognized, “due to the valor and dedication of the all-Black fire crews who served the multicultural Five Points Neighborhood faithfully in the face of segregationist policies from 1931 – 1957.”
