Description: Fire Station #4 at 1329 W. Dayton Street in Madison, Wisconsin, is one of the oldest firehouse buildings in the city and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. Designed by local architect Lew F. Porter and built in 1904-05, the station features tiny windows on the east facade that originally lit horse stalls. The rapid expansion of University Heights, Wingra Park, and other near west side neighborhoods at the turn of the century necessitated the construction of this firehouse, which was the first built outside of the central city. In 1983, the Fire Department moved, and in 1984, the building was rehabilitated into six townhouse apartments.
