Station

Mount Vernon City Hall & Fire Station - Main & 6th Streets
 The Mount Vernon City Hall was originally built in 1893 and serves as both the police and fire stations. An addition was
completed on the back in the 1950's to house additional apparatus. The department's current day room and sleeping facilities
for the full-time firefighters were converted from the old horse stalls from back in the horse-drawn days.
