Both the Village of Owego Planning and Zoning Boards approved final site plans for the proposed Steamer House building to be constructed immediately north of Owego Fire Station #2, and at the former Lloyd\u2019s Barbershop site on North Avenue. Originally proposed in January 2020, all planning requirements for the project have now been meet.  <\/span><\/p>\n

The building will house and showcase the Owego Fire Department\u2019s 1866 Amoskeag Steam Fire Engine and the 1938 Sanford Hose Truck now under the care, custody and control of Owego Hose Teams, Inc. Construction on the site will begin soon. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think of Jody and Dave Seaver of The Community Shop directly across the street from the project; Stacey and Aaron Riegel of the Rainbow Trail with Angela and Jerry Pettinato of Mario\u2019s just to the North of the project; Sam Harris of Harris\u2019s Diner just south of the project and all the other businesses on the North Avenue corridor,\u201d said Hose Team Captain Patrick Gavin during public hearings.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Gavin added, \u201cThese businesses will directly benefit from the tourist and foot traffic the Steamer House will bring to downtown Owego. This is the type of economic development Owego desperately needs especially on North Avenue, the so-called gateway to the Finger Lakes region.\u201d  <\/p>\n

\"Steamer<\/a>

Mike Haas with Delta Engineers, and Steve McElwain with McElwain Engineering, designed the site and building plans through in-kind contributions to the planning phase of the project thus far. The building, modeled after one located in Marathon, N.Y., will be constructed of cedar wood frame and glass solarium walls for 360 degree viewing, with the steeple supporting an antique fire bell previously located in clock tower of Owego Central Fire Station.  <\/span><\/p>\n

The bell was removed earlier this year and is under repair at the Verdin Bell Company in Ohio. Once installed in the Steamer House it will ring again. Another feature of the site will be an eternal flame honoring past and present volunteer firefighters. The eight (8) foot high structure with flame atop will burn 24 hours a day, 365 days a year recognizing the never-ending commitment of volunteers who serve the community. <\/p>\n

Construction onsite should start as early as this month.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Gavin stated, \u201cStealing a line from the Blues Brothers, \u2018We are putting the band back together\u2019 and assembling the same team that contributed to the successful Baker Fireman\u2019s Fountain restoration completed in 2019.\u201d  <\/span><\/p>\n

John Chandler, with JOC Construction, is handling all site work that should be completed this year. Building construction by Middendorf Contracting could begin next spring based on fundraising efforts.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Prior efforts of Hose Team and fire department personnel removed the abandoned barbershop building, fencing and trees that were onsite, paving the way for Chandler\u2019s work to begin immediately. <\/p>\n

\"Steamer<\/a>

The steam fire engine is under repair at Firefly Restorations in Hope, Maine. The 154-year-old Steamer has not been operational since the late 1980s, at which time it was the oldest operating licensed steam fire engine in the United States. Andy Swift with Firefly Restorations and Brian Fanslau with Maine Locomotive & Machine Works have been hard at work on the restoration including the rebuilding of its boiler. Work on the Steamer should be completed by next year.   <\/p>\n

The Hose Team is working to host both online and in person information sessions for the public to learn more about the project. Times and dates of these sessions will be released in the near future.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Several upcoming fundraisers for the project are planned, to include a chicken barbeque at Croton Hose Company #3 Fire Station on Talcott Street on Oct. 16; Firehouse Subs at Owego Central Fire Station on North Avenue, Oct. 18-23; Hose Team Pink Elephant Putt Putt Tournament and Ball Drop at Metro\u2019s Restaurant on Route 96, set for Oct. 23; and Monte Carlo Night, in partnership with VFW Post 1371, on Nov. 6.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Individuals can also donate to the project by becoming a \u201cSteam Booster\u201d on the hose team\u2019s website at www.OwegoHoseTeams.com<\/a>. Contributions are tax deductible.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
