Fire Station No. 23 (Seattle)

Fire Station No. 23 is a former fire station located in the Central District of Seattle, Washington listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was remodeled as the Cherry Hill Community Center in 1970, and served as the headquarters of Centerstone (formerly the Central Area Motivational Program, or CAMP). It was again renamed in 2018 to Byrd Barr Place. This was done to honor local US civil rights leader Roberta Byrd Barr, who is cited as strong supporter of CAMP's efforts since the 1960s. The location currently offers community support to the surrounding Seattle area, including housing assistance, tackling food insecurity, and bringing the community together to advocate for its needs. Byrd Barr Place seeks to support Black Washington residents within Seattle's Central District in particular, with the end goal of bettering the state of Washington collectively.
