Hey there, time traveller!

The iconic Central Fire Station, a prominent landmark at 637 Princess Ave., continues its quest for a new owner.
“The firehall building is still for sale. No offers to date,” listing agent Zack Munn told the Sun. “We have had six private showings on the property since August.”
Munn said there haven’t been any offers to date, which signals the unique nature of this historic building and the careful consideration it warrants.
As for the property’s status, Munn said “it is still an active listing, and fully available.” He added that the firehall remains on the market, inviting those with a vision for its future to explore the possibilities it offers.
According to Munn, the availability of the property and the interest it has garnered make it a significant presence in Brandon’s real estate landscape.
“We’ve got some good feedback, but just no one that has made the decision to pursue it so far.”
When asked about the impact of the sale on the Firehall Event Venue, Munn said: “They still really want to sell the business and the event venue as a sole entity.”
Regarding a potential price reduction, he added: “There are no plans to reduce the price right now, and I haven’t had any discussions with the sellers that way. Certainly, as time passes, there’s always the possibility of price reductions. But for now, there are no plans to reduce the price.”
As the Central Fire Station awaits its next chapter, Munn added that the hope remains that it will find a steward who will honour its legacy while embracing its potential.
Meanwhile, the Sun had reported in August that the iconic firehall — an architectural gem that has stood tall since 1911 — has been listed for sale with a $1.35-million price tag.
Munn talked about the multifaceted appeal of the building, explaining that “the draw for this building is number one, the location, Brandon’s downtown, and the historic aspect of the building, being a heritage site. I think that’s going to be a big draw. The Central Fire Station’s architectural grandeur and its presence as a community landmark contribute to its allure.”
