A team of Ohio firefighters have uncovered a fascinating 118-year-old time capsule, buried inside the brick wall of an old fire station due to be demolished.
On May 24, the Marion Ohio Fire Department intervened in the demolition of its old Station One building to remove the sandstone cornerstone for preservation, with permission from the building’s private owner, Ted Graham. Using hammers and chisels, a small group of off-duty firefighters got started but stopped before an engineer arrived to supervise when they made an unexpected discovery: a small copper box concealed behind bricks in the wall.
