The Hyde Park Firehouse is located along U.S. Route 9 in Hyde Park, New York. It was built in 1902 as the headquarters for the Eagle Engine and Rescue fire company, which later became part of the Hyde Park Fire Department and moved to newer quarters a block further up Route 9. Architects John O'Donnell and William J. Beardsley designed the building in a Renaissance Revival architectural style.{{cite web| url = https://cris.parks.ny.gov/| archive-url = http://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20190404141934/https://cris.parks.ny.gov/| url-status = dead| archive-date = 2019-04-04| title = Cultural Resource Information System (CRIS)| publisher = New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation| format = Searchable database| accessdate = 2016-05-01}} Note: This includes {{cite web | url = https://cris.parks.ny.gov/Uploads/ViewDoc.aspx?mode=A&id=292442&q=false | title = National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: Hyde Park Firehouse | accessdate = 2016-05-01 | author = Claire L.
