City to sell Humboldt Street fire station

TELL CITY – The Tell Board of Public Works and Safety will accept bids on the former fire station at Humboldt Street. The department houses its fleet of trucks at the 12th Street station and no longer has use for the property, which has been a station for decades. The city discussed selling the building a couple of years ago and had a joint appraisal done. Sealed bids will be accepted. For more information about the property or to arrange for a tour, call the mayor’s office at 547-5511.
