A contributing element in the Vicksburg Main Street Historic District, the Constitution Firehouse was built in 1870 as the second house of the city's first volunteer fire company, which had been organized on April 13, 1837. This two story, three-by-three bay brick building with hip roof and cupola, round-arched door openings on the first floor, and segmented-arched window openings on the second floor, is one of the few surviving examples of a late nineteenth-century firehouse remaining in Mississippi.
Included in "Buildings of Mississippi" (2020) (p.76, YB13). |
