Popularly known as the Old Police and Fire Station, the complex is one of the simplest but most elegant public buildings in Coral Gables. Built in 1939 by the Works Project Administration (WPA), the building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building was designed by Phineas Paist, who was vital in the development of George Merrick’s dream city and later principal architect for the City of Coral Gables. The exterior sculptures seen on the west side of the façade, along Salzedo, were executed by Theresa Keller (known professionally as Jon Keller), a noted moderne sculptor of the period. The sculptures depict firemen and the families saved through the valiant efforts of firefighters. Architectural Style: Moderne, Other, Late 19th And 20th Century Revivals.
