Municipality: Atlantic City

Atlantic City Fire Station #4 is located at the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and California Avenue, where it has been in continuous use as a fire station for over 100 years since its construction in 1912. Fire Station #4 is an impressive tribute, in the Beaux Arts style, to the city’s early twentieth century civic pride. Both the exterior and interior are finely detailed in design and craftsmanship. The classically symmetrical exterior of brick, limestone, and carved terra cotta is complemented by interior details such as iron and wood balcony and stairway rails, paneled interior doors, and the original wooden watch box on the first floor. Much of the interior detailing and almost all the exterior elevations are extant. 

The Trust grant will help fund the creation of a Conditions Assessment, a National Register of Historic Places nomination, and Schematic Design documents for future work.
