The fire station that became a bar

L.A. Fire Station 56 was built in 1924 on Rowena Avenue, near the border of Silver Lake and Atwater Village. It closed as a fire station in 1989 and moved to a new location just across the street. The old station sat dormant for many years, until it was bought, restored and reopened as a restaurant and bar called The Edendale in 2001.
