Municipal Fire Department of Olhão

Fire station, possibly a former cooperative wine cellar (Inquerito à Arquitectura do Século XX in Portugal), with an architectural composition that incorporates the formal languages that characterized the first applications in the 1930.

The building refers to a modern lexicon, characterized by regional elements (body on the avenue), and later moments (1940s and 1950s), when the traditionalist lexicon overlaps the modern matrix (side body, across the street).
