Fire Station No. 2 recalls the strong example of the
national movement in modern civic building design
represented by Decatur’s historic Fire Station No. 1.
The glass tower for solar hot water at Fire Station No.
2 is a ‘sun‐tracker’. The blue color band and the red
‘2’ that can be seen moving across the glass of the
tower are both created by the sun passing through
colored glass mounted on the tower.
