The St. Elmo Fire Hall, built circa 1934, served initially as fire station No. 14, servicing a 1,000 gallon fire engine. It also served as a fire department office.

During the 1980s, the Fire Hall was closed and became neglected.  For the following 20 years, the community struggled with the challenge of how to maintain the Fire Hall as a vital component of St. Elmo's history and architecture.

The Community Association of Historical St. Elmo (CAHSE) worked to maintain the Fire Hall for years, until it became too large of a burden.  In 2009, a public/private partnership between the City of Chattanooga and a local citizen, created an opportunity to not only save the Fire Hall, but have it restored as a vital part of the St. Elmo Community.

The Fire Hall continues to serve as the meeting place for CAHSE monthly meetings (First Monday of every month @ 7 p.m.).
