The site of Cambridge, 1, a gourmet bar and grill, dates back to the early 1900’s when it held the first firehouse in Harvard Square, known as Cambridge, 1. The firehouse was torn down and a new auto body repair shop took its place in the 1920’s. Later, a Chinese restaurant occupied and greatly altered the repair shop shell by adding a new parapet, creating smaller window openings, and covering the street façade with stucco.
