50/19 former house, built in the 1880s, is still standing around the corner between Park and 3rd Avenue on 166th Street.
Any chance of a picture of that?
Great photos thanks for sharing capp.

Great photo! At one time about 1970 this house contained Engines 50 and 50-2, Ladder 19, and Division 6. It might look too small to house them all but they were all so busy they were hardly ever around at the same time to be in quarters.

Actually this firehouse was original quarters of Ladder 18 for a few months. L 18 was disbanded, E 50 a combination company took over... and the rest is history...Years later L 18 was re-organized in Manhattan.
