ATLANTA — The U.S. General Services Administration is pleased to announce the public online sale of a former fire station in Anniston, Alabama. The opening bid starts at $80,000.

This property, located at 34 Traffic Circle (Building 69 Headquarters Road) in Anniston, includes one building of approximately 8,000 square feet on approximately one-half acre. The building is a T-shaped, two-story stucco structure in the Spanish Colonial Revival style.
