The Elm Street Fire Station is a historic fire station at 58 Elm Street in Gardner, Massachusetts. When it was built in 1897, the building had a number of innovative features. It used a distinctive suspension system to support the building's second story without the need for columns, using steel rods attached to the load bearing outside walls. The six story bell tower was also used as a hose drying facility. Other interior facilities include systems for automatically dropping harnesses onto waiting horses, which were at the time the means by which fire equipment was moved.
