This is a photograph of the Mt. Laurel Fire Department. It was probably my favorite building we saw. It's made all of the same material, natural Alabama stone, which was all harvested from the mountain that Mt. Laurel rests on. Just on the backside of the firehouse is a small green area between two sides of "main street." The Fire Department, being a civic institution, is the centerpiece of the community. It is a building that captivates the eye, and is almost hard to look away from. There is on street parking surrounding this area and with the Fire Department as the centerpiece of the neighborhood, it doubles as a great landmark/meeting place for friends and family. NOt to mention, having the fire station in the center is the best and most logical design for it's intended uses.
