Firehouse Reborn as Affordable Housing | Boston News

A historic 1927 firehouse in Harwich is being reborn as affordable workforce housing—three modern one-bedroom apartments upstairs, with local residents prioritized. Once a single open space for firefighters, it’s now gutted and rebuilt with sleek kitchens and tiled bathrooms. After nearly becoming a demolition site due to high costs, the project was saved by the Harwich Conservation Trust and town funding, turning a community effort into a living legacy. A new police officer from Falmouth is already set to move in, while the Fire Association keeps its vintage engine downstairs—proof that history can serve today’s needs.
