77 Sussex Street - site of previous Linton fire station

In 1861, this site was occupied by Henry J Humpage, solicitor, and at that time also it temporarily housed the offices of the Bank of New South Wales. At one stage, a Dr Currie also practised here.

In about 1885, the Linton Volunteer Fire Brigade was formed and erected Linton’s first fire station here. The first photo shows what the building and weighbridge looked like in the early 1900s. This was replaced by a new building (with a tiled roof) that was erected by the Country Fire Brigades Board, and opened on 6 September 1939 by Mr Stewart, a member of the Board, which took over supervision of the country brigades at that time.

The 1939 fire station was extensively remodelled and extended. It is now privately owned after it was sold in 2015 when the Country Fire Authority moved to a newly built station on the Glenelg Highway.

Until 1938 a public weighbridge was sited to the left of the fire station which you can see in the old photo from the early 1900s.
