Last fall, a tract of land was leased from the Forney Estate, located on the Westminster Road, near the toll-gate, and a building was erected. The engine house is 24 x 30 feet, one-story high, and erected by the members of the company. Every piece of apparatus has been paid for and the building was also dedicated free of debt.
