143 N Wayne Ave

From the National Register nomination

One of two separate yet coordinated buildings (with 139-141 N. Wayne) in the middle of the block, this two-story structure originally housed the Waynesboro Fire Department, until its move to Broad Street in the mid-1950s. It replaced an earlier fire department building on the same site. Contrasting materials used on the facade include dark red brick with pale cast-stone trim located at jack arches and keystones over the two pairs of second-story windows, and belt courses at parapet level and window sill height. The original upper-story double-hung sash have been replaced with fixed single-pane windows. One storefront, added after the fire department moved out and the building was converted to retail and office uses, has metal-framed display windows and transoms (presently covered with signage) and a recessed entry. The stairhall entry to the second floor retains its onginal mult-pane transom and a wood glass-panel door. Many details of this structure reference the adjoining but not matching group of buildings at 129-131, 133-135, and 137 N. Wayne.
