Engine 17 Engine FDNY

I worked in 2 FDNY Engine companies that were disbanded. Engine 27 on 173 Franklyn St. Manhattan Lower West Side and Engine 17 on Pitt St. on Manhattan's Lower East Side. I covered vacations as a Lieutenant in Engine 85 on Boston Rd. in the South Bronx, E-85 was disbanded. I guess I'm just bad luck for FDNY companies. I have heard that Engine 27s old quarters at 173 Franklyn St. is now owed by "Taylor Swift" yes that Taylor Swift.
Captain Bob Rainey FDNY Engine 26 retired.
 
Here is a shot taken sometime in 1940. They moved in with L18 in 1939 so they were already out of here when this was taken. View attachment 42945
Are there any known photos of the firehouse at 91 Ludlow prior to this one posted above in 1940, such as between 1880 and 1939? Thanks for any assistance with my query.
