Detroit firehouse for sale

Bordine is co-founder of Ponyride, a Corktown incubator for various ventures. The couple own the building along with Michael Chetcuti and Kyle Evans.

At least a dozen others wanted it, Cooley said. The firehouse was basically a shell when purchased in late — even the fire poles were gone. Work on the building has been extensive: A lot of plaster removed, new ceiling and floors, a steel staircase moved and widened. That was before they replaced the vinyl windows and took other measures. The main floor where fire engines once parked will become the commercial studio for Ed Welburn, former vice president of design at GM.

Comes with a bonus parking lot and extra garage in the back. We know that Engine 18 has only minor interior vandalism, that it has three stories, and that there's a garage in back. That's all the info the city provides, which is especially unfortunate as Engine 18's size and unique architecture have us itching to learn what's going on inside.

Cooking led Cooley to gardening. He always wanted a greenhouse. A friend helped guide him through the process of building one.

Lun returned to Michigan in after living in New England and was in search of a fire station to purchase so he could house his growing collection of fire trucks.
