Built in 1849, Mt. Tom Hose House was Holyoke's first fire station. It was located on Lyman Street and Canal Street. The destruction of this building made way for the construction of the Mt. Tom Engine House in 1886. At the time Olsen created the picture, the site was owned and operated by Pioneer Surface Cleaning. |
