Tenleytown, DC

—Country Village to City Neighborhood —


The Tenleytown Firehouse (pictured here) dates to 1903. Its location on Wisconsin Avenue near Tenley Circle provides access and coverage to the greater Tenleytown area. Prior to the introduction of motor driven fire vehicles in the 1920s, the original hook and ladder trucks were pulled by horses. The firehouse, listed on the D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites in 2000, has been home to Engine Co. 20 since 1907 and Truck Co. 12 since 1913. A project to modernize the firehouse, retaining the original exterior walls, started in 2003.
