The Engine Company 6 Fire Station is a former Hartford Fire Department firehouse located at 34 Huyshope Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut. It is a two story Moderne style brick and brownstone structure, designed by Hartford Architectural Bureau and built in 1938 to replace an older firehouse damaged in a 1937 flood. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 2, 1989. HFD Engine Co. 6 was disbanded in 1984 to form HFD Tactical Unit 1, and the building was repurposed as a homeless shelter.
