The former Ringwood Fire Station, designed by important architect Cedric Ballantyne, and completed in 1930, is of local architectural and historical significance.
It is notable as one of a group of distinctive fire stations designed in the 1920s by Cedric Ballantyne, an architect best known as the designer of the Regent & Plaza Theatres. The stations are interesting for their combination of Old English details such as red-brick walls, low projecting eaves, terra-cotta shingle roofs, small multi-pane windows, combined with Georgian Revival symmetry, massing and proportions.
Historically, the Ringwood Fire Station is important as one of the few prominent early public buildings remaining in the locality.
