Rescue Hose Company No. 1, old station





Rescue Hose Company No. 1, old station, 60 North Washington Street, Greencastle, Pa. Franklin County Company 3. Rescue Hose was formed in 1897 and added an Ambulance Squad in 1967. This building was built in 1888, I believe for or by the American Steam Fire Engine Company (organized in 1884, disbanded in 1892) and later occupied by the RHC. Rescue Hose Company eventually moved to quarters on South Carlisle Street. In 1998 they moved to 842 South Washington Street, their current home. This building currently houses Borough offices and the Police Department.
