Woodlawn firehouse was built in 1913, in 20th-century Italian Renaissance style. According to Anjala Ehelebe’s book, Images of America: Portland’s Woodlawn Neighborhood (Acadia, 2008), it was home to firefighters on the top floor and stabled horse-drawn engines on the lower level. Decommissioned in 1959, the building had many uses during the ensuing decades. In the 1980s, it housed interior decorators, J.R. French & Company and the following decade, it became a private residence.
