Liberty Fire Co. No. 1 and the Middletown Volunteer Fire Department

Liberty Steam Fire Company No. 1, Dauphin County Co. 88. Formerly Company 57. 10 Adelia Street, Middletown, Pa. Founded November 7, 1874, it has been a part of the Middletown Volunteer Fire Department since it's incorporation October 28, 2004. Don't know when this building was built but I'm sue it's not the original station from 1874. It appears that this is currently home to the Middletown Volunteer Fire Department's Union and Liberty Companies, since Rescue Hose is still in their old station on Union Street. But plans have been approved to add another 37 feet to the right of the existing apparatus bays. The bell from the Liberty's house is from the McShane Foundry in Baltimore, same foundry that made the Vigilant Hose Company of Shippensburg's bell.

UPDATE 3/24/2012: Apparently I didn't speak to the right people. The day after I post the final pictures of Middletown's fire houses I run into a friend who says,"I grew up in Middletown and belonged to the Union's before I moved to this area. What do you want to know?" First of all, the Liberty's started on Catherine Street. Their old station is the town library. So, I'll need another trip to Middletown. This station was built in 1974 and houses all of the MVFD. The engine I saw at the Rescue's house was an older out of service piece. In 2004, when they consolidated, everyone moved to the Liberty's station.
