Fire Hall No. 6

In 1909, the Strathcona City Council decided to replace an old fire hall that was not worth repairing, and in a plebiscite citizens voted 203 to 26 to build a new hall for the volunteer fire department. When Strathcona amalgamated with Edmonton in 1912, the building became Fire Hall No. 6 in the expanded city's new all-professional fire department. In 1974, Fire Hall No. 6 became the home of Walterdale Theatre, one of the city's oldest amateur drama groups. The tower still houses the original bell. Fire Hall No. 6 was designated a Registered Historic Site on 14 July 1976 by the Hon. Horst A. Schmid, Minister of Culture.
