Stanford Fire Truck House

Stanford Fire Truck House

The Fire Truck House, built by Charles Hodges in 1904, served as Stanford University's firehouse until the 1960s, when a new fire department was built on Serra Street.

Today, the Fire Truck House houses student campus organizations, including the Women's Community Center, which promotes the success of Stanford women by providing opportunities for scholarship, leadership, and activism, on the first floor, and the LGBT-CRC (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Community Resources Center), which organizes many diversity awareness programs and offers mentoring support for queer, questioning, and allied students.
