The interior of the station in 1975

It is a crucial component of the San Francisco Fire Department Auxiliary Water Supply System, which provided a water-supply system separate from the domestic water supply system.[2]

It was designed by City Engineer Marsden Manson and was built by contractor Caldwell & Co.[2]

The building is in Mission Revival style, and has large windows (about 12 feet (3.7 m) wide and about 20 feet (6.1 m) from sill to top of arch).[2]
