Hi All,
Earlier this summer I thought I was done with making firehouses but ended up
making another one . . .
<http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=211636>
This one is the firehouse in my neighborhood, Engine 226. I see them go by
quite often and hear them even more often than that! Their firehouse is a block
away from my apartment. Built in appx 1889. The info I have indicates that
they have been in that firehouse since it was built. (Quite a number of other
engine and ladder companies in the city are not in their original houses).
My version was built in late August but I just recently got around to ordering
the last dark red pieces I needed to complete it.
I am very happy with it. Particularly the 3 wide windows.
Thoughts and comments always appreciated.
The rest of my firehouses are here:

Best,
Jonathan

| (...) This latest fire station facade is just about perfect. I did notice that the second floor windows have more mullions than the prototype. I think it adds some character. Of all of your fire stations, I like the number 8 one the best; those (...) (18 years ago, 24-Oct-06, to lugnet.town)
