Brunswick Fire Station and Flats, Heritage fire station complex in Brunswick, Australia
The Brunswick Fire Station and Flats, opened in 1937, features two vehicle spaces, a watch room, offices, and residential quarters at 24 Blyth Street.
Commissioned by the Melbourne Metropolitan Fire Brigade in 1937, this station marked the first departure from Georgian revivalist designs toward modernist architecture in Victoria.
The station's design by Seabrook and Fildes incorporated European architectural principles, with cubic forms and minimal decorations influenced by Dutch architect Willem Dudok.
The complex maintains its original function as an active fire station while the residential block continues to occupy the corner of Burchett and Barningham Streets.
The station's vertical tower element extends beyond the facade, incorporating a flagpole and reflecting the building's civic presence in the community.
