Rescue Hook & Ladder Company No. 1 Firehouse

Although the department was established on November 1, 1852, the Colonial Revival style firehouse itself was built in 1937 and designed by prominent Roslyn-based architect Henry W. Johanson. It was subsequently sold, repurposed, and renovated – and it now houses a retail business.

The new Roslyn Hook & Ladder Company No. 1 firehouse, dedicated in 1986, is a Brobdingnagian structure containing five fire trucks and larger equipment, towering over the Roslyn Plaza, which had fallen victim to the Town of North Hempstead's asphalt- and concrete- philosophy, demolishing 19th century structures for the Long Island Railroad's expansive parking lot. The volunteer firefighter brigade has claimed several championships over the years in competitions with other firehouses.{{cite web | url = https://cris.parks.ny.gov/ | title = Cultural Resource Information System (CRIS)| publisher = New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation| format = Searchable database| accessdate = 2016-03-01}} Note: This includes {{cite web | url =https://cris.parks.ny.gov/Uploads/ViewDoc.aspx?mode=A&id=33975&q=false | title = National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: Rescue Hook & Ladder Company No. 1 Firehouse| accessdate = 2016-03-01 | author =Leslie A.
