Waverly Fire Dept 1930

After the fire department moved from this building George Myers had his auto repair garage (Myers Garage) in this building until about September 1945 when it was sold to Mrs. M. L. Spriggs as part of her expansion plans for the Waverly Hatchery and Feed Store. She had built, the building that is now the Wilson Memorial library. The building with modifications eventually became Parker Glass and is now Perry Glass.  Current address is 109 West North Street, Waverly. Jim Henry believes the fire department relocated to Lock Street which later became Kiser Garage and was located across from present day Vallery Ford.  The building has since been torn down.

 

Firehouse steeple with siren

Note the siren on the steeple at the fire station placed there March 1928 and tested the previous Tuesday as noted by the March 29th Waverly News. This replaced the whistle at the power house (now the site of the Mayor's office). A five horsepower motor is required to operate it and is controlled by a switch at the telephone exchange.
