Pampa Fire Station

-A A +A
1930, William R. Kaufman and Son. 203 W. Foster St.

Designed in concert with the city hall, the fire station completes the triad of formal, classical buildings that comprise Pampa’s civic center. In the original town survey of 1902 this was the south half of Albert Square. The square, like many of the street names of the original townsite, commemorates the New York City and London trustees who represented the English bondholders of the White Deer Land Company.

Two blocks east of the fire station at 120 E. Foster Avenue, the U.S. Post Office (1934) designed by DeWitt and Washburn of Dallas is Italian Renaissance in style and a calm counterpoint to Kaufman’s relative exuberance along N. Russell Street.
