TEXT from the National Register of Historic Places Registration Form page 33, Block 777 and Photo 34.

"A firehouse built in 1923 occupies the northwest corner of Bush and Carroll Streets. It is a two-story structure built in a kind of classical revival style with Art Deco-influenced decorative motifs. The building has a tiled, low-pitched gable roof with parapets on either side. Two plain end bays, marked with simple stone bands near the top, extend to the roofline and frame a decorative central portion where the fire-truck entrance doors are located. The entire central portion has much decorative stonework. At the entry level, between the wide openings with their stone lintels, there is a commemorative plaque honoring Mayor Broening, the architect, William F. Stone, Jr., and builder, and the leading members of the Baltimore Fire Department. The actual garage doors are recessed behind the façade. The upper level of the façade is marked by a band of windows. Beneath, stone panels and cartouches lend a neo-classical feel to the building, but above the windows, the decorative stonework consists of a row of Art Deco-style grooves and stylized cartouches."
