It is a bit of an oddity and also then why it caught my eye. The brick pattern work wrapping around it and over the windows, the end windows in the attic area, and then the large arched entrance / exit door for the fire engine......but that tower on top just caps it off.

Could be a nice model.

I do not see any indication of a bell, maybe a fire lookout tower?

Whatever, it would make a nice model. Woodland Scenics or Menard; are you reading this. Oh, wait a minute, forget Menard, they seem to screw up in some way almost every building they offer. Usually with the lighting.

Probably; nice details in that as well.

In (at?) Mill Run, Pa...

I looked up Mill Run, Pa on google maps. That apparently is a picture of Indian Creek Reservoir formerly known as Mill Run Reservoir, is a 26 acre water supply reservoir owned by the Municipal Water Authority of Westmoreland ...

Town of Mill Run is actually south of there a few miles...and if you continue down Rt 381 you can visit Falling Water.

Probably; nice details in that as well.

It could be a hose drying tower so that wet hoses could be hung vertically. I've seen these on other old fire houses, although they are usually fully enclosed. This one could also be a bell tower from which the bell was removed.

Had the drying tower thought as well, but yes, usually enclosed and often another story taller than the main building to hang the hose.

Could have had an alarm bell in there to summon firefighters....

That was my first thought about it.

Also interesting is the horse drawn equipment. I wonder where they kept the horses

We can't see what's on the other side of the building - maybe there...

Too much to hope that the building still stand.

If it were a drying tower, more probably than not, it would not be located right over the main entrance. All that water dripping down would create problems.

The female, second from right, seems like she must have been quite a character, quite an independent soul. The stance, outfit, facial expression, and hand placement bear testimony to quite a bit of sauce.

I"M not sure that is a female
