We Bought A Firehouse!
Henry Street got an early 125th birthday gift on October 25, 2017, when it took possession of the vacant firehouse at 269 Henry Street, adjacent to its historic headquarters. The spirited groundbreaking for the new building, to be named the Dale Jones Burch Neighborhood Center at Henry Street Settlement, was held on November 10. The space will be home to the Settlement’s Parent Center and Resource Center.
