Fire Department
Image
A view of the fire department and its engines. The garage consists of two bays, with a small, circular window placed above, the gabled roof forming a triangular pediment. The deeply-set window is multi-paned with brick outlining. A door is placed on the right side, set back from the front. The engines sit partially in the driveway and partially in the street, with the left engine carrying an attachment cart that appears to contain the water tank. Only one man appears in this engine, while the right on carries two men, both in the front seat.
