Astoria #10: Uppertown Fire Station #2

2968 Marine Drive

Uppertown Fire Station #2 in Astoria, Oregon on September 24, 2005

This building was originally built in 1896 as part of the North Pacific Brewery. It was designed by Portland architect Emil Schacht. The brewery shut down in 1915 due to prohibition. In 1928, the City of Astoria rebuilt it as Uppertown Fire Station #2. (This part of Astoria is known as Uppertown) The building served as a fire station until 1960. The building was put on the National Register of Historic Places on September 7, 1984. In 1989, it was donated to the Clatsop County Historical Society to become the Uppertown Firefighters Museum. The second floor also houses the Astoria Children's Museum.
