Its amazing looking at that picture, that according to Dennis Smiths book, 2 engines and 2 tillers were parked in there during the war years.

TCU712 was a rearmount (1961 Mack/Magirus with a retro-fitted Grove aerial) and don't forget the 27 Battalion. Yes, the building was amazing. I'm sure it had a character all of it's own.

Was it? For some reason I thought it was mentioned as a tiller.
I do remember the 27 there but it was mentioned somew here they parked out front.

RCL,
You're right. I'm sure they parked on the apron as there was no room inside until 85 and 712 moved to the Bronx Tin House.

I remember excerpts from the book at the moment. Have to find it again and reread it. Its kind of like Emergency! from the 70s. The more that has changed, the more that stayed the same.
