It was completed in 1915 to a design by civil engineer Albert Givan.","why_significant":"The station was the largest and best-equipped firehouse in Sacramento when built, and the only one with four truck bays. It was the first public building in Oak Park, the city's first suburb, annexed in 1911. It is also an unusual local example of Prairie School architecture and the work of Albert Givan, a locally important engineer.","narrative":"Fire Station No. 6 at 3414 4th Avenue in Sacramento was built in 1915 to serve Oak Park, the city's first suburb, which was annexed in 1911 after two serious fires showed the need for better protection. The rectangular two-story building has a stucco finish, a four-bay facade, a shallow shed roof with skylights and a five-story hose and training tower at the rear. Its first floor and tower are reinforced concrete, and the upper floor is hollow clay tile. Designed by civil engineer Albert Givan in the Prairie School style, it was the largest firehouse in the city and the only one with four truck bays. The tower served as the city's only drill tower until about 1938. Four metal fire poles remain in place. The station closed in 1979 and was rehabilitated in 1988-1989 as an art gallery with studios above. It was recognized for its role in Oak Park's growth, its architecture and its link to Givan.","period_of_significance":"1915-1940","architect_builder":"Givan, Albert","architectural_style":"Prairie School","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Closed as a fire station in 1979 and rehabilitated in 1988-1989; now an art gallery with artist studios on the second floor.
