"Tap In"-Using the telegraph key to advise the dispatcher you were back in quarters during the pre-radio days.
"Tap Out"-Member sick or injured and going on medical leave.
Are you referring to E31's old quarters on Lafayette Street? If so, I think, although not certain, back in the day it was used for a horse stable. Could be wrong.
I recall my dad telling me that his company, E16, would go downtown to the ferry terminal, take a sail across the bay and relocate to the old quarters of E154 on Hannah street. 154's buff would be seated between the MPO and the officer to act as the "tour guide" if they got a run.
