Fire Station No. 48

Two large pylons with large lettering flank the building and announce the fire station from both north and south, scaled to the fast moving traffic of the area.  Located in a fast growing neighborhood in North San Antonio, Fire Station No. 48 is near an abandoned quarry, nearby are private houses, and developing communities. A  combination of stonework, metal panels, and glazing sympathetic to the buildings use and the rural and industrial history of the area are the major materials.
