Yes, that house is pretty deep, I remember when E68's Mack C was in front of L49's FWD 75ft. woodstick.
Engine 48's former quarters, 2504 Webster Avenue (from approx 1881-1977) collapsed in the 1990s.

The old Engine 48s quarters had been the home of Model Cities Salvage 3 for a few years in the late 70s, maybe early 80s.
I know of at least two fires in that building when Salvage 3 was closed down. One was an all hands that I saw while buffing, the other I believe went to a Second Alarm.

Don Holt's site: http://nyfd.com/brooklyn_engines/engine_201.html
"Engine No. 1, as its number indicates, was organized when the Paid Department came into existence. It was installed in the house on Fourth Avenue, between Eighteenth and Nineteenth Streets, which, prior to that time, had been occupied by Putnam Engine No. 21, of the Volunteer Department, and remained there until Aug. 20, 1891, when it was reorganized and moved to a new building of better design and more ample accommodations on Fourth Avenue, between Fifty-first and Fifty-second Streets."
Original firehouse joined to structure next door (635) - currently occupied by Seafarers Intl Union.
