once again Fdny fire houses

[e290l103]

on the right track. it was a 2 bay house. this firehouse used to extend into the middle of what is now Varick St. when the subway was extended thru the area using the open trench method, the firehouse was cut in half on the left side and moved left(east) to the position it currently is in. This was much cheaper to do than cut the right side off and have to rebuild that finished side, as opposed to cutting off the left side, moving it east 30 or so feet and just doing a plain brick wall, which is what was done.

they have a great phone and clock wall in the house too...
