It was deemed "a good example of the Georgian Revival/Colonial Revival style, significant to Boone County in the period 1900-1945." It was the station of the Florence Volunteer Fire Department, organized in 1934. Among its initial efforts, Albert Hue, organizer, bought a 1913 Ahrens-Fox fire pumper for $75 and borrowed hose from the Elsmere Fire Department.[2]
