Gallery 5, aka Steamer Company Number 5, is a quirky building across the street from another quirky building – Richmond Dairy Apartments. The triangular-shaped firehouse was built when fire engines were horse-drawn and pumps were steam-powered. The landmark remained in service as a firehouse (and police station) until 1968, when it was transformed into the Virginia Fire & Police Museum. In 2005 the museum closed, replaced by an art gallery.
