2025 – Historic Shepherdstown Holiday Ornament

Since 2015 Historic Shepherdstown in Shepherdstown, WV has been selling a holiday ornament each year. Each depicts historic buildings in Shepherdstown, from McMullan Hall to the Fireman’s Hall. See Historic Shepherdstown Ornaments. 

This year’s ornament is the Fireman’s Hall. on the corner of New and  King Street.  Built in 1912, this red brick building of Gothic design with a square steepled tower at one corner housed the fire department and served as a community building, town hall, jailhouse, basketball court, sometime movie theater, and a gathering place for church suppers, bazaars, and entertainments by various religious and civic groups. After the fire company moved to a new fire house on Route 45 in 1987, the building remained empty for a time and now is privately owned.
