The former Engine Co. #127 firehouse in Clearing would be sold and converted into a private single-family home through a land sale proposed to City Council today by Mayor Brandon Johnson.

Located at 6411 S. Central Ave., the 4,064-square-foot structure would be sold for its appraised value of $65,000 to Matthew Skowronski and Kathryn McIlvain. Approximately $305,000 in planned improvements would repurpose the interior as a three-bedroom home and garage.

The 100-year-old building was decommissioned as a firehouse in the early 1990s.
