A historic building in Denver, once the city's only fire station staffed by an all-Black crew, has been sold to private buyers. The building, constructed in 1888, served as Fire Station No. 3 until 1931. It was later added to the National Register of Historic Places.
The building at 2563 Glenarm Place, once Denver ’s only all-Black fire station, fetched $895,000 last month, records show. The 4,125-square-foot building will be converted to a private residence, according to Eddie Lederman, who represented the buyers. Built in 1888, the all-Black crew at Fire Station No. 3 fought fires out of the building through 1931. They then moved across the street to 2500 Washington, where they stayed until the Denver Fire Department desegregated in 1957.
The Washington St. station was added to the National Register of Historic Places in July, according to History Colorado. The property was sold by Stuart Bombel, who signed on behalf of Albrook Partners LLC, which bought the property for $350,000 in March 2023. Paul Cattin of Platinum CRE and Autumn White of PorchLight Real Estate Group in Boulder represented the seller. Cattin said Albrook is a fix-and-flip investor. He said the company fully repaired the roof and foundation as well as the wood flooring, bringing the old firehouse to a shell condition. Lederman and Tyler Joyce of Lederman Locations brokered the deal for Colin Joyce and Laura Backhaus, who records show bought the property
