7/18/13 - Lindenâs historic fire hall is getting a new lease on life as a photography studio. Gavin Smith wanted to trade his spot on Lake Fenton for what he calls his âFortress of Solitude.â Smith is a photographer who shoots everything from weddings to the Detroit Lions. He found what he was looking for in the fire hall and is now turning its three floors into a photo studio and home. It eventually will have a roof deck. The hall was built in 1909 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It has also served in the past as the home to the Linden police department, library and most recently a dance studio. Smith's renovations must comply with certain guidelines because of the building's historical status. (JK)
