The Kaimuki Fire Station is one of the seven Fire Stations of Oahu listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1980.[1] It is located at 971 Koko Head Avenue, in Kaimukī, Hawaii.[2]
Description
The building was designed by G. R. Miller (one of the designers of the Honolulu City Hall),[3] who also designed the Kalihi Fire Station that was erected the same year (1924) and with very similar features.[2] The reinforced concrete building was built against an old water reservoir. The campanile is actually a hose tower. The top is a red-tiled hipped roof. It has been described as a "miniature shield volcano".[3]
The fire station includes a stucco-facade, rectangular building on its left that was built in 1931 but not included in the 1980 National Registry.[2]
A plan to build a new separate building for the fire station was rejected in 1992.[4]
An ancestral water tank previously filled by two artesian wells is adjacent to the fire station.[5]
