Harrisburg, PA

The Paxton Fire House is Murrays 363rd project, designed by William Lynch Murray and built in 1937 to replace a predecessor firehouse of the same name and location that was heavily damaged by the flood of 1936.

Art Deco building is located within the City’s Municipal Historic District but falls just outside of the National Register District. The historic structure served downtown Harrisburg, the Capitol complex and Shipoke for over a century and is Harrisburg’s oldest operating station. Located in a flood zone, it endured several renovations due to multiple floods and in 2014 it was permanently closed due to extensive water damage.
