Reliance Hook and Ladder Company
145 Rowayton Avenue
In 1905, the men of the Reliance Hook and Ladder Company built a firehouse with porches overlooking the river, with full basement, meeting rooms, a dumb waiter, and pool table. It stood less than a hundred feet away from the competing Rowayton Hose Company. The library association purchased the building in 1926 and it housed the library for the next 40 years. The building now serves as the Rowayton Arts Center.
