About This Home

13 N Dearborn Street

Step into history in the heart of downtown Mobile, where the Creole #1 Fire Company building, designed by James H. Hutchisson, has been exquisitely restored. This two-story brick structure, originally home to Mobile's first volunteer fire company in 1819, seamlessly combines modern updates with rich historical charm. Outside, an arched central bay, full-height, triple-hung second-floor windows, and a "Creole" sign on the façade pay tribute to the building's past. Gas lanterns and an automatic gate provide a warm welcome, while a privacy fence surrounds the property. Notable fireman plaques and a Fireman's ax adorn the front, connecting you to its historical roots. The private outdoor space is a sanctuary, with a spacious back patio under a charming stained beaded board ceiling and ceiling fans. Streetlight post columns and a courtyard fountain add to the ambiance, and a brick grilling area and ample seating make it perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation. Inside, a modern open floor plan with high ceilings and wide plank hardwood floors seamlessly merges with the past. The second floor features a luxurious Master Bedroom, a library wall, an adjoining living area, and a master bath with his and her vanities and a walk-in shower. The original firepole, polished and stunning, remains, serving as a reminder of the building's unique history. The Creole #1 Fire Company, known for its rapid response to fires, had a horse, Jack, who could lead them straight to blazes by following his nose. The company used horse-drawn equipment until 1924 when it transitioned to modern fire trucks. This building served as their home until the Central Fire Station was built in 1926. Additional features include working exterior shutters, large wall-hung TVs, and new HVAC systems installed in 2022. For your four-legged companions, a turfed grass area is available. This building is more than just a home; it's a testament to Mobile's history and a captivating blend of past and present!
