Hansen Bros. is the exclusive mover for the relocation of MOHAI. This video shows the final moving sequence of the 1890 Seattle Fire Department Bell.
Josiah Collins, Chief of the volunteer fire department, bought the bell in 1890 to replace the volunteer fire department bell that was damaged in the Great Seattle fire in 1889. It originally hung at Seattle Engine House No. 1 at 7th and Columbia, Seattle’s first professional fire station. The fire station lasted until the early 1960s when it was demolished to make way for Interstate 5.
The bell was made at Gardiner C. Campbell & Sons Centennial Bell and Iron Works in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and weighs 5400 pounds, including striker equipment. Campbell & Sons made similar bells for communities around the United States. As communication techniques advanced, it lost its purpose as a fire bell and was hung in a rustic tower at Carkeek Park from 1919-1926. It was stored in the Roosevelt Fire Station and came to MOHAI in time for the museum’s grand opening in 1952. It was rededicated June 6, 2002.
