Ralph`s Service Center
|
| The old Fire Station on the Milford oval is home to Ralph`s Service Center. |
|
| As it came to be in 1857, the town voted to build a fire house on the site. As originally laid out the first floor housed the engines (pulled by horses or men) and the second floor was the meeting room. A 60 foot tower was built on the top of the building for drying fire hose. |
|
| This building served Milford until a new fire station was built under the new library (town hall annex) in 1892. |
|
| Three generations of the Jacques family have since owned this building. |
|
| The building is now owned by Ralph Porter, Jr. who provides motor vehicle maintenance and repair services, motor fuel and towing services to all on "The Oval". |
|
 | | Ralph Porter, III is an ASE certified mechanic.
He is the son of Ralph Porter, Jr. who has a lifetime of experience keeping his customer`s vehicles in good repair.
