Mason City Engine House No. 2
Nominated to the National Register of Historic Places
In 1938, Mason City applied for and received Public Works Administration
(PWA) approval for funding the construction of a second fire station, a
deep well, and an elevated water tank. The Engine company was formed and organized on September 1, 1939 at
headquarters and its apparatus, a 750-gallon triple combination pumper on
an International chassis, and equipment by Peter Pirsch was delivered.
After 34 years of service to the community, Mason City’s Engine House No. 2 was closed in 1973. In 2022, the Mason City Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) will be
considering the nomination of Engine House 2 to the National Register of
Historic Places.
