Woodside Ladder 3 - former firehouse 58-11 39th Avenue
Currently a vacant church for sale:
Additional uses:
St Sebastian RC Church web site: "Masses were also offered in the Woodside volunteer Hook and Ladder Company #3 House on 39 Avenue, which later served as the American Legion Hall and is now a Korean church."
Additional from web site: "Of special note is the founding of the first fire company in Woodside, the Hook and Ladder Company in 1878, with William Cameron, a member of an old local family, as its first foreman. The firehouse bell, originally cast for an East River steamboat named the Sylvan Dell, became the church bell of the original St. Sebastian Church and now is proudly ensconced in front of the rectory."

Found some history about Ladder 8's firehouse on EBay of all places, read story at the bottom of posting: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1906-NY-Fire-Dept-Hook-Ladder-Co-8-Log-Book-Ghostbusters-Movie-/350542040348?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item519def0d1c
Engine 222 former firehouse 836 Quincy St (1885-1913)
From "OUR FIREMEN : THE OFFICIAL HISTORY OF THE BROOKLYN FIRE DEPARTMENT"
"ENGINE COMPANY NO. 22.
Located in one of the most aristocratic portions of the city of Brooklyn, the house occupied by Engine Company No. 22 on Quincy Street, near Patchen Avenue, in the Twenty-fifth Ward, is surrounded on all sides by handsome brownstone and frame private residences and first-class apartment houses. The company was organized on June 16, 1885, by Fire Commissioner Richard H. POILLON. In the district covered by it on a first-alarm there are 64 boxes, which are distributed about in the territory lying between the city line on the north. Myrtle Avenue and Broadway on the east, Atlantic Avenue on the south and Stuyvesant Avenue on the west, in all about three miles square. In this territory besides the hundreds of elegant private residences arc the House of the Good Shepherd, Lutheran Home for Aged Women, Warner Institute, Public Schools Nos. 26, 74 and 75, Bohannan's immense lock factory. Church of Our Lady of Good Counsel, of which Rev. Father Mahoney is pastor, the Reid Avenue Methodist Episcopal church, and any number of smaller churches, DeKaIb Avenue car stables, Green and Gates Avenue car stables, Ebert's brewery and Eppigs brewery. It is in this district that County Clerk COTTIER, School Trustee Ferns and George GLENDENNING, the leader of the Twenty-fifth Ward, reside. The majority of the men in the company have been in the service for many years and notwithstanding this fact they have fortunately escaped serious bodily harm and with but one exception have not been called upon to rescue a fellow being cut off by flame and smoke."

R.I.P. Engine 36. I remember you as one of those very Busy Harlem Companies during the very busy War Years. I saw you working a lot of those jobs. Some Excellent Firefighters walked through those firehouse doors.
