Esek Bussey Firehouse, now known as Engine Company 8 or Pumper Number 8, is a historic fire station located at Troy in Rensselaer County, New York. It was built in 1891–1892 and is a two-story, red brick building. It features a corbeled brick frieze, flat roof, rusticated stone work, and terra cotta detailing.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1]
During the mid-1970s, plans to construct the Hoosick Street Bridge were delayed by more than a year due to efforts made to save the firehouse.[3]
