It is a 7,000-square-foot (650 m2) building constructed as Houston Heights' city hall and jail, and fire station in 1914. After annexation, it served as a city of Houston fire station from 1918 until 1995. It was Fire Station 14. The Houston Heights Association took a 30-year lease on the property from the city and refurbished the property.[3] By December 2009 the former city hall was for sale.[4]
