2-story fire station completed in 1940. Designed by Warden H. Fenton, it is clad in red brick with a grey granite base. The 2-story recessed opening in the middle of the facade is set between curved edges of the brick, and has a bright-red garage door at the ground floor and a 4-over-2 windows with thick black metal framing at the 2nd floor, separated from each other by a beige stone panel. A pedestrian door is built into the garage door, and on either side there are bronze plaques mounted to the wall, below lanterns. The roof line has a row of dentils below a stone coping, and a flagpole with its base affixed below the middle of the coping rises up above the building.

The west facade is browner brick, with two windows on the ground floor and three on the 2nd floor. The east facade is similar. The Engine 21 fire company is nicknamed "The 21 Club".
