The site, formerly home to Hook and Ladder House No. 5 and the Detroit Fire Department Repair Shop, is inextricably associated with the development of Detroit’s professional fire department. Erected in 1888, Hook and Ladder House No. 5 is now the second oldest standing fire station in the city of Detroit. Architects William Malcomson and William Higginbotham received the commission for the station construction, and are known for several of Detroit’s early firehouses in Late Victorian styles. The building adjacent to House No. 5 was built on the site of the horse training track in 1917 to house the department’s central Repair Shop, and reflected the transition from horse-drawn to motorized vehicles. The north elevation of the Repair Shop is more utilitarian in nature, constructed with steel frames, reinforced concrete floors, faced in brick, and fenestrated with square industrial type windows. Specifically, The Eastern is located in the eighteen foot high one story section of the Repair Shop that was built primarily to house a fire truck wash room.

A little candlelight, a packed dance floor, and the kind of joy you can feel through the photos. Libby and Charlie filled The Eastern with so much personality, laughter, and love from dinner to the final song. This is exactly what a wedding night should feel like. 🤍
