The complete exterior and interior renovation at the Edgewater Historical Society and Museum celebrated the building’s original design by restoring the shell of a 1926 fire station. With the addition of a new, classic storefront infill at the old fire truck entry and the restoration of existing brick and windows, the museum is welcoming to visitors and a model of unique, historically sympathetic design. 

     

Inside, the first floor was transformed from a barren garage to an exhibit and lecture hall. The exposed ceilings and track lighting add a modern touch to the historic atmosphere. 

     

 Located at 5358 N. Ashland Avenue, the museum is open on Saturdays from 1:00 to 4:00 PM.
