Old Engine Company 26, a Tudor Revival firehouse located at 2715 22nd Street, NE in Washington, D.C., was built in 1908 to serve the Langdon neighborhood, which lay outside the city's hydrant system. Originally designated Chemical Company No. 3 and staffed to extinguish fires using chemicals rather than water, the station was renamed Engine Company 26 in the 1920s. The firehouse closed in 1940 following a major restructuring of the fire department, after which the city sold the building. It was subsequently purchased by the New Memorial Temple of Christ Apostolic Faith, Inc., which remains its current occupant. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
