AUTOCALL FIRE ALARM SYSTEM @ HOTCHKISS ELEMENTARY

Hotchkiss Elementary is a modest, smaller school in Akron, Ohio. This school was originally built in 1927 with a manual pull rod fire alarm system. In the early 1950's the pull rod was automated with an electric, Autocall fire alarm system. Non-coded pull stations with 10 inch, single stroke bells were installed throughout the two story building.
My father, who was born in 1929, attended this school when he was a boy. So I could not help feeling nostalgic as I walked the hallways and roamed throughout the building. Sadly, this school has been decommissioned and is now closed awaiting demolition.
