The Spotty Dog Books & Ale

This bookstore and bar occupies the C.H. Evans Firehouse, a red-brick 1889 building designed by Michael O'Connor for Engine Company No. 3, converted to retail use and opened by a descendant of the Evans family in 2005. Evans' Ale, first brewed by Cornelius H. Evans in the 1800s, is still poured at the bar beneath the firehouse's original mahogany mantle.
