[quote name='Truckman' post='106822' date='May 11 2007, 17:52 ']OUTSTANDING photos of 15 Truck and 33 Engine.
One question that I had and I've been to Boston before to see the Sox's at Fenway, and for the APCO conference in 2000. Was this station a larger station at one time? From the front of the building it appears that it may have been a huge station and may have been closed down except for the 33's and 15's apparatus doors. The rest of the building has the same arches. Interested to know.

The building to the left of the firehouse housed the Boston Police Department's Division 16 until 1976. From 1976-2007 it was home to the Institute of Contemporary Art, which is moving to the South Boston Waterfront. The building was purchased for $7.22 million this year by the Boston Architectural College, which is located directly to the rear of the firehouse on Newbury Street. The connecting arch between originally led to the stables where both the FD & PD horses were kept. Division 16 closed when the city consolidated into much fewer precincts.
