how about some of the ugliest firehouses?  the men can only do so much but some of the fdny buildings that were put up in the 70's look like crap.  no personality and no imagination.  looks lie they were thrown up and corners were cut to save money.  the inside of these houses seem very cramped and most are only 2 floors for a double house which makes for reaal close quarters.

(if you want to check them all out)

these are my top 10 bronx firehouses in terms of good old school looks:

E60/L17 (lots of emblems and ornaments and a great railing)
94/L48 (upper level of house just calls for attention)
Squad 41 (screams old school firehouse and just so much to look at)
E88/L38 (diff. looking front that most houses especially upper level)
E90/L41 (double entrance doors)
E43/L59 (great middle emblem)
E81//L46 (big, clean and open looking old house)
E82/L31 ( very distinct look esp. roof)
E73/L42 (2 diff. old houses attached)
E52/L52 (good old look and a bell tower)

you guys think i left any out?

  Thanks Atlas, I was going to ask about E71's old house with the Div. chief coming out of the basement on 159th St..

  These are Classic and still in business today.

Old 71 is in use today by EMS Batt 55 units.

I still think that in NYC the best station that I ever saw was Engine 31 on Lafayette St. That was in a class all by its self.

I agree with E 31; classic building.

Was the division office in the basement as well or just their vehicle?

I am happy to say that I was never there when the Div used the side door.  I know that the 9th Batt ran out of Ladder 4 old quarters via a side door. The current quarters of Eng 68 & Lad 49 has a side door that was going to house an EMS unit, but now I am thinking is there any other stations in NYC that have or has a side door?   I think that Eng 31 might also had a side door.
