City Acquires Property Next Door to Firehouse

Mayor Laurence Leyens contacted the VAA recently to announce that the City of Vicksburg has acquired the vacant lot next to the firehouse with the plan of grading it down to street level and creating a landscaped parking lot for use by the VAA. This will improve the appearance and cure some drainage problems which have plagued the firehouse over the years.

No target date has been announced for completion of this project.

Most of these events are held at the Old Constitution Firehouse Gallery located at the corner of Main and Openwood Streets

About the Firehouse

The VAA is fortunate to have as its headquarters one of Vicksburg's first firehouses. This building has been designated as a Mississippi Landmark by the Department of Archives and History. The Old Constitution Firehouse is believed by the Archives and History Department to be the most intact Victorian fire station in the state.

It was built in 1870 as the second house for the city's first volunteer fire company and later housed the first paid company.

The building retains the central stall, barracks room, cupola, and bell which was used to call the volunteers.

The presence of the fire station made the Openwood - Main Street area one of the most desirable residential districts in Vicksburg before 1876.
