The Kendall Hotel at Engine 7 Firehouse
Overview
The 1895 firehouse is the oldest building in the Kendall Square area, the center of the technology industry in the Boston vicinity and home to the world-famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Today, this city landmark has been restored in a manner befitting its heroic past. The original Victorian firehouse is home to the hotel’s restaurant and is full of firehouse memorabilia. Eleven of the hotel’s guest rooms are also located here in what was once the firemen’s dormitory. A newly constructed seven-story tower houses meeting space and additional guest rooms. In addition to firehouse artifacts, the Kendall is furnished with handmade quilts, antique and reproduction furnishings. The hotel’s owners were honored by the Cambridge Historical Commission for the quality of their efforts and for conserving and protecting an important community landmark.
