The Hope Engine House on the North Side. This is the firehouse that Art Rooney’s Hope Harvey team was named after and where they dressed for their games which took place a block down the street. The Hope Fire Station was located directly across the street from what is now the D.H. Clark Building (the former Clark Candy factory).
