Mruk Fire Alarm Building

The Mruk Fire Alarm building has been obtained from the Town of Coventry to the Western RI Civic Historical Society. We are very excited to have stewardship of this piece of the town’s history. In this photo, you can see the Paine House in the backdrop and the fire alarm building in the forefront. The Mruk Fire Alarm building was once the town clerk’s office.   Stay tuned for news to come for this building.

If you have interest in any of these and/or you have a talent you’d love to share with us, please visit us to see what we are all about and how you can help. When a lot of people donate just a little time, think of how much we can achieve together! Please contact us by email at info@westernrihistory.org or message us through the many social media platforms linked in the buttons.

 

 

The Western Rhode Island Civic Historical Society is a recipient of a Champlin Foundation grant which is being used toward the external restoration of the Mruk Alarm Building.

 

January 2022 Update

In their new home at the Mruk Building.


The Paine House barn has been the home of antique fire apparatus for decades. The equipment has now been moved to its new home in the Mruk Alarm Building.
Much gratitude to #KingstonReds for their willing spirit, dedication to historic preservation and strong backs. Huzzah Reds!
