The charm of Old Yeronga Fire Station cannot be overstated. As cute as a Lego house, surrounded by 1,062sqm of land, and with the original fire pole and engine room in place, the Brisbane landmark is absolutely a unique opportunity.

Built in 1934, and located at 785 Ipswich Road, Yeronga, the fire station is on the market for the first time in more than 15 years.

"This property represents an incredible purchase opportunity for the astute buyer to secure a piece of Brisbane's rich cultural history," said Aron Burtenshaw of Ray White Industrial Milton, who is marketing the property with Matt Wray.​

The property is currently zoned for emergency services, but could be used as an office or home.

"We have already had strong interest from a range of buyers including doctors and art businesses seeking a live and work option," said Burtenshaw.

Old Yeronga Fire Station is one of the earliest designs from leading Queensland architecture company Conrad and Gargett, who also designed Old Government House and Customs House in Brisbane.

The station has a rich and colourful history. 

During the Second World War an effigy of Adolf Hitler was hung from the fire station's awning, while the US and Dutch armies created a bivouac camp for more than a thousand soldiers in Yeronga Park behind the fire station.

The station provided firefighting services to the surrounding areas until 1974, when the building was passed on to the SES who used it as a base and training centre for 24 years. 

"This is a well-constructed and truly unique office space with original finishes and fittings," said Wray.

"This includes an original fire pole man hole, and working counter-levered garage doors which open into an engine room which has been preserved in its original state," he added.

The property will be auctioned on site at 11am (AEST) on Wednesday, 7 December 2016.
