C. Erina Hose Company, 13 Niagara Street


This 1873 Italianate building was a village fire station that housed both apparatus and horses. Originally, the building had double doors. A semi-circular gable is at the bracketed cornice line with a domed mansard roof located above the center entrance. A hose-drying tower is located to the south or back of the the building. An 1816 village ordinance established the Canandaigua Fire Company and public wells. Early purchases included fire engine, hooks, ropes, ladders, leather buckets and hose. The structure is now the location of a retail business, Angelic Dreams.
