Engine 31 was disbanded in 1972, Water Tower 1 was disbanded in 1957, and Batt. 2 was relocated to Engine 24 Ladder 5.
The building was later used as a tv studio, but not sure what it's used for now.

Marc,
At one time this was a museum also. I think a private insurance company had it - I think it was THE HOME INSURANCE or something like that... Would have to pick my father's brain. I think the museum was there in the late 1970's to earily 1980's
