Fire Station 14’s history dates back to 1890 when the Town of Montclair operated a volunteer fire department. A hose wagon was housed in a small shed behind the Montclair School, located at 1424 Oneida and pictured above. In 1891 the new Stanley School opened which allowed the building above to be used a combination station, church, community meeting hall and jail. Montclair was annexed by the City of Denver in 1902 and in 1904 a paid fireman and two horses staffed the station.

The current Station 14 opened on June 30, 1937 next door to the previous fire station. It was designed by C. Francis Pillsbury to resemble a Tudor home and better fit in with the prestigious homes of the neighborhood. It was built for a total cost of $22,782 nearly half of that cost was covered by a PWA Grant from the U.S. Government.
