The building at 14 Maple Avenue in Windsor, Connecticut is a Former Fire Station of the town. It is a brick structure, 2-1/2 stories in height. On its main facade, the former garage entrance for the fire truck, which was an arched opening, has been filled in with a square plate glass window and brickwork filling the arch above. The main doorway is to the right. Above this, and extending into the gable, is a Palladian window. The station was built c. 1882, and is a fine local example of Victorian styling in brick. It was converted to commercial use in 1973.[2] It is now the home of Gottier Investments.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
