Fabulous Firehouses become Homes and Businesses

What about Engine 204 house on Degraw in Brooklyn. I heard it was sold years ago but as of last check it was still vacant.

the original house of what became Fire Patrol 3 is now a PD on Amity St in Cobble Hill/Bklyn Heights.  Our last is now being remodeled as part of the Montessori school behind us.  FP 2 is now owned by Anderson Cooper.  Forget whats up with #1. Dunno if anyone mentioned E208 up in Ft Greene.

  Did you mean FP3 on Dean St. instead of Amity St.? ???
 
Gman....he might be refering to the original FP*3 house being on Amity & the most recent house on Dean being taken by the school that was behind it.
 
Boston firehouse occupied by Engines 38 and 39 until E-38 was dis-banded on 2-4-47. Occupied by E-39 until 4-22-77. Occupied by Ladder 18 until 4-22-77 when both companies moved into a new house at 272 D Street. House is now occupied by the Boston Fire Museum and the Boston Sparks Association. On January 7, 1983 our quarters were destroyed in a fire set by a group of arsonists that plagued Boston during the early 80's resulting in millions of dollars of damage and injuring many Boston jakes. Every sorry ass was convicted and sent to jail, I hope they loved Walpole. Hi my name is Bubba and I think I love you! 8)l

yyyyyyyyup ;D thaaaaank ya Chief.  Original house was built for Brooklyn Fire Insurance Salvage Corps.  http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=F30B1EFC355911738DDDA00894DA415B8585F0D3

Apparently Pacific (or that part of it) became Amity at some point.  Never knew that clip existed til I just googled Bklyn Fire Insurance Salvage Corps.
 
Lots of old volunteer firehouses (some became FDNY quarters) are still standing around the city.  This one is in Rossville, SI.  A pet food store.

The Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre occupies a former firehouse building at 304 West 47th Street, in the heart of the Broadway district. The PRTT undertook a $2-million renovation of the distinctive red-brick structure to include a fully equipped, 194-seat theater.
