Dandenong Fire Station, 1910.

Located on the triangle of land bounded by Mason, Walker and Robinson Streets.

The present-day location of the Walker Street Gallery has a long history with the local Fire Station. This building was moved in the 1930's to Bangholme, to make way for the new/present building, and became the Bangholme Memorial Hall and is still there and being used for Dances, the last I knew/checked on it.

This building was replaced with the present building around 1930, sadly the present building has had many modifications leaving it almost unrecognizable. The Dandenong Fire Station moved to bigger premises at 120 Princes Hwy in 1986, and they move again in 2021, further up the highway into bigger premises.
