History
Pampa's Central Fire Station at 203 W. Foster was built in 1930 in the Beaux Arts style by architect W. R. Kaufman and Son, with construction by Panhandle Construction of Pampa. Funded through a 1929 bond election, it formed part of the oil-boom civic building program known as Pampa's "Million Dollar Row" alongside the county courthouse and city hall, and served as the city's sole fire station until 1957. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
