Was this house at one time two seperate houses? Looking between the left bay door and the right one it looks as though there is a seperation in the bricks running the full height and each bay had its own entry door. Like maybe an Engine house and then a ladder house built next door?

It was the original quarters of Engine 46/Ladder 27. In the late 60's/early 70's at different times it was also home to Engine 46-2, Ladder 27-2, Battalion 56, Squad 1, Ladder 58, Bronx Fire Alarm, Bronx Base for the Fire Marshal's and in 1992 became the home of Rescue 3, Collapse Rescue and the Bronx Rac Unit.
