Independence Fire Association’s Earlier House
A captioned photograph shows the old Independence Fire Association house with a horse-drawn steamer and links the building with a later City Hall wing.
Some details remain uncertain
An Earlier Firehouse
The caption identifies the old Independence Fire Association house and shows a horse-drawn steamer outside.
Later Civic Use
The booklet describes the pictured firehouse as the later east wing of City Hall. That statement is preserved as a captioned relationship rather than a complete architectural chronology.
No Duplicate Marker
The image supports the existing fire-company story without introducing an additional map point whose footprint has not been independently reviewed for the photograph’s era.
