Firehouse II, Miami 1926

The Fire Station No. 2 (also known as the Old Fire Station No. 2) is a historic fire station in Miami, Florida. It is located at 1401 North Miami Avenue. On January 4, 1989, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

This building is now owned by a community redevelopment agency (aka "CRA") called the OMNI CRA. Ownership was transferred from the City of Miami. In late 2011, the Omni CRA launched a 2MM renovation in order to rehab the building and utilize it as its main office. The nearby Omni Center was purchased in October of 2011 by the Genting Group in an effort to establish a Vegas style gambling operation. The vacant Fire Station No. 2, was constructed in 1926 by architect August C. Geiger, the tenth registered architect in the State of Florida. The Groundbreaking Ceremony for Firehouse # 2 will take place on Monday, December 19, 2011 at 10:00 am. It will be held on-site at 1401 N. Miami Ave in Miami, FL.
