This historic firehouse was designed by the architectural firm Chittenden & Kotting in 1910 to serve Southwest Detroit. It housed Engine Co. No. 10 and Ladder Co. No. 4 until closing in 2000. In 2022, it was restored and converted into the acclaimed wine bar and bottle shop called Ladder 4.
The renovation carefully preserved many of the firehouse's historic features, including its glazed brick interior walls, original coffered oak and pine ceilings, the original hose tower, and a brass fire pole that is now displayed as a nod to the building's history. Adding to the building's character, several tables and decorative elements were crafted from reclaimed slate salvaged from the former Durfee Elementary-Middle School, blending Detroit's architectural heritage into one unique space.
