Fire Station 6

Designed by William Rawn, Fire Station 6 is a bold contemporary civic building that uses light as a defining feature. Large glass grids on the east and west façades glow like a beacon at night, while the south façade contrasts with a solid concrete masonry wall punctuated by a continuous strip window. The project was widely recognized, receiving a 2000 Honor Award in Architecture from the New England AIA and a 2001 Honor Award for Design from the Boston Society of Architects.
