Your Favorite NYC Firehouse (FINAL INSTALLMENT, CITYWIDE VOTE)

[kfd274]

• Tweet

For the past several weeks ,  I have  presented an opportunity for you to review all the firehouses in NYC by borough.  You looked at the pictures presented, and then voted  for your FIVE favorite houses in each borough,   based on historical, architectural and personal value. The POLL  listed all the ACTIVE houses by Engine Company in numerical order, then the single Ladder Companies, Rescue, Squad.
Now that the voting has ended,  I am presenting  the twenty five (25) finalists. There are actually 27 finalists because of a fifth place tie in Queens and in Staten Island.  Now, you can choose your five (5) favorite firehouses citywide.

I could not get five of the links to work in the original post.  Can't get them to work when I add text or an explanation.  So I am adding just the corrected links in the next post.  I want everyone to be able to see all of the firehouse pictures easily.
