The Romanesque style station was designed by Harrison H. Atwood, then the city architect, and constructed in 1891. It is distinctive for its early use, within this style, of light-colored brick, and features a rusticated ground level and progressively more refined detailing as it rises.[2]

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987,[1] and was included in the Fort Point Channel Historic District in 2004.[2] It now serves as the Boston Fire Museum.
