Fire Station No. 1 stands in downtown Roanoke, Virginia, a Georgian-style building completed in 1907 by the Lynchburg architectural firm Huggins and Bates. Modeled after Independence Hall in Philadelphia, the structure served as one of the longest continuously operating fire stations in Virginia, remaining in active use for exactly a century until a replacement facility opened in 2007. Now a monument to early Roanoke's civic ambitions, the building is situated within the Roanoke City Market Historic District and is recognized as both a National Register of Historic Places and Virginia Historic Landmark.
