Where some see an old fire station, Joanne McKenna sees a new art gallery.
The Ward 1 councillor wants to transform the former Beachmont fire station on Winthrop Avenue into artists’ lofts and an art gallery.
McKenna said the building is currently being used as a storage facility for the Revere Fire Department.
“The Beachmont fire station is the oldest fire station in the city,” noted McKenna during Monday’s City Council meeting. “It’s an historical building, one the Beachmont community and the City would like to keep since we’ve lost so many landmarks.”
McKenna said the exterior condition of the building “is in disarray.”
