Engine House #4, built in 1900, was the original fire station of the Havelock district. This building was home to a horse drawn fire team. After 70 years, the fire station moved to Fremont and Touzalin Streets. The building soon housed The Salvation Army Thrift Store for a short period in the 1980's.

After extensive renovations, The Engine House Cafe opened in June, 1995. The wood ceiling, accenting the entire building, is a 1900 original. The two large wooden beams at the entrance are what's left of the Bell Tower. A covered hole still shows the tower entrance. The memorabilia throughout the cafe came from retired and active firemen, their families & friends.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the cozy atmosphere and the rich history of Lincoln in every bite. We're glad to have you as our guests!
