The fire houses in New York City have a lot of history and Engine 55 in Nolita is no exception. The New York City Fire Department has a great website with the histories behind each building and a great photo archive.
Most fire houses are located on city blocks and are tucked in between residential buildings so it's always interesting to see them.
Morgan: What a great picture. This is just one small part of what makes New York City such a great place. Thanks for such a great photo.
Morgan,
Great photo of classic city architecture. Love all of the details and the way it has been maintained over the years. :)

That's so neat, Morgan. I have never been to New York City. But, my cousin and her husband were there a couple of years ago and have made me want to visit. I love the architecture there. It's amazing.
Great shot. I love the detail, compared to the boring "boxes" for fire stations around here.
I love the detaling on the building. This is a great shot. But you must have a LOT of fire stations to accommodate everyone, if they're this small. We have all different shapes and sizes, randomly placed around the county.
This almost makes me want to buy a hearse and start a ghost-busting business. ;^)
Morgan,
I love that shot. A neighborhood fire station with a red door.

Lovely firehouse photo captured. The building has distinctive details. We would love to see all the engines in Manhattan!
Morgan, what a great picture, it reminds me when I lived in Boston and on Boylston St. they converted a Fire Dept. place like this into a pizza place. Great Pizza by the way...
Morgan great photo, you really work in an interesting city. There is just so much to photograph and write about.
Morgan, Great photo and interesting information. I really enjoyed it. By the way, I'll be watching closely to see you reach 100K points. I saw that Eileen made it and I should too, very soon.
Morning Morgan, love how this Engine 55 firehouse chose to accent the fabulous architecture. Nice shot!
Gary-I'm more a silent 100k person than Eileen, don't expect a 100k post from me!
Cynthia-These old firehouses are some of my favorite New York City architecture.
I love these ole firehouses and what a site and memories they bring back. We had an engine #4 here at the office for a long time but then it was retired.
