It is significant as a work of architect Ludwig O. Solberg. It includes a five-story tower, which serves both as a hose tower and as a firefighting training tower.[2]
According to its NRHP nomination, "The building's symmetry and classical detailing play heavily upon the Beaux Arts styling, while the hose tower/practice tower owes it design influence to a Gothic church steeple."[2]
