Ypsilanti put up this Romanesque Revival fire station on West Cross Street in 1898 and ran calls out of it until 1975. A non-profit reopened it in 1998 as the state's museum of firefighting, keeping the original bunk room and brass pole and adding a big modern hall behind it. The collection runs from horse-drawn steamers to antique pumpers, along with what the museum says is the largest gathering of fire truck bells in the country.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
