The Organization
Central Station Education Initiative (CSEI) is a Registered Charity and incorporated in March of 2017 but is an outgrowth of many organizations and Committees working over the last three decades to find a way to save and transform Central Fire Station into a public heritage building. CSEI Directors have been involved in all of these committees/organizations.
The Building
One of the most uniquely designed fire stations in North America, Central Fire Station was built in the Edwardian Classical style. Drawing from classical models, the architect re-purposed a Roman basilica plan to ingeniously house the various functions of firefighting in the early 20th century. Central Fire Hall is one of only three significant major heritage structures surviving in downtown Welland.
