Hose Company 8 (South End) was organized at this house that was built in April, 1854. Hose 8 replaced Hand Engine 12.
The firehouse was located on then-Warren, now-Warrenton Street, near Tremont Street. The address is believed to be 69 Warrenton Street.
Hose 8 stayed here until April 1, 1869 when the company moved to a new firehouse at 25 Church Street, several blocks away. The firehouse at approximately 69 Warrenton Street was closed and no further information is available.
