Firehouse Art Center

wpid9080-IMG_1804.jpgBit by bit, I am seeing more of the local area in our new home.  We have been to Pleasanton a few times and it has cropped up in the blog before too.  We were recently there for a spot of lunch and decided to have a wander around before heading off to our next task.  A sign showed the way to the Firehouse Art Center.  As you might imagine, this is located in an old firehouse.  The building has undergone significant restoration and modification it appears.
