Eric from what I was told our Historical Society would only allow the bays to be widened if the construction company took out the old brick and replaced the same brick back in a widened fashion. I tend to side with the Historical Society's when it comes to renovating firehouses because if it wasn't for them I think there would be a lot of single story, plain, no character having firehouses in the country. The city would do what ever was cheap and that would mean tearing down the firehouse and rebuilding some terrible mess in its place.

I tend to agree Roy, our problem with the door's is they are arched with ornate poured casting's that would have too be removed before you can even get to the brick's.........
