This year, the Urban Land Institute will be honoring a local development for the 2014 Award. One of the finalist is Old HFD Fire Station 6 on Washington Avenue! On Washington Avenues east end, this fire station originally established in 1903 was successfully repurposed from an historic but dilapidated structure into an adaptive new use, as offices of creative design firm Axiom. The National Trust of Historic Preservation in Washington D.C. noted, “Today, Fire Station 6 in Houston is a beacon for historic adaption done right.” Houston Archaeological and Historic Commission (HAHC) noted, “By capturing the spirit and character of historic Fire Station 6, while creating a 21st century purpose for the landmark, this great building will survive. This privately-funded historic preservation not only saved the built environment, but also preserves our community heritage for future generations. You can cast your vote for Old Fire Station 6 by visiting the ULIs website at houston.uli.org/polls/2014-peoples-choice-awards/ The winner will be announced on January 28th
