About a dozen years ago or so there was an excellent feature in the Washington Post describing how the firehouse at 731 R Street NW (formerly Engine Company 7 then Engine Company 4)had been converted into a private dwelling after Engine Company 4 was relocated to their new station on Sherman Avenue. The former quarters of Truck Company 4, originally Truck Company D, has been converted into a private gym doing business as Primal Fitness. I stopped in there last spring to tour the old place and sadly, there is very little left besides the bay doors that would identify the structure on the inside as a fire station.
Stay safe brothers.

Old E4 was bought by a Art dealer,who was using the apparatus floor to show his collection. He had told us that he was using the upstairs as his living quarters. This was back in 2001 or so while we were doing a school inspection across the street.
