Our mission is to rehabilitate the Montclair Firehouse into a small venue for visual and performing arts and a community meeting space.
We have established a petition for an arts center addressed to the elected officials who can make this happen. Please sign the petition. For more on our mission, vision, and how to help, feel free to reach out!
This building served as Fire Station 24 from 1927 until 1989. It seems the perfect place to create a memorial to honor Oakland's fallen firefighters and to preserve examples of firefighting equipment. The 1250 square foot garage space could serve as a museum of firefighting equipment while the adjacent vacant parcel to the north could be the site of an expansive memorial structure with places for dedication plaques naming fallen Oakland firefighters similar to the national firefighters memorial in Washington.
