Specifications include, but are not limited to: Commissioning outdoor artist-designed seating at Engine 37, which is high quality, original, and site-specific. Some themes which are of interest to the community include: the historic neighborhood; the history of the fire department at this site originating as a volunteer organization and metamorphosing to a staffed facility, the oldest continually operating fire station in the city; the element of water the fire fighters use, and the site being within the Wissahickon Creek watershed; the local geology of the area comprised of the Wissahickon bedrock formation, and the use of Wissahickon Schist for the existing structure. The proposed artist seating could be fully functional or sculptural in nature. The Department’s objectives for this project include the following: ▪ Create a site-specific public artwork ▪ Create a functional bench
