History
The Del Rio Council for the Arts blends cherished town history with the modern world in fresh new ways. The Del Rio Council for the Arts has called the Firehouse at 120 East Garfield home since 1977. Why the Firehouse? This building actually was Del Rio's original firehouse, city hall, and jail! Now feet dance where firemen slept. Where business leaders conferred, an art gallery is installed. In the former jail stands a pottery studio.
