from wiki:

 

32 Old Slip, also known as One Financial Square, is a skyscraper in the Financial District of New York City. Completed in 1987, the building has 36 floors and stands at 575 ft 0 in (175.26 m). It is home to Convene,[4] AIG Global Real Estate,[5] Goldman Sachs,[6] the New York Regional Office of the United States Census Bureau,[7] and the ground floor houses the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) Engine Company 4 and Ladder Company 15.

The company is known as "The Mouse House".

 

The building is similar to Engine 251 in Long Island City, Queens, and to Engine 155 in New Brighton, Staten Island.

 

 

this is engine 18 on w10th street in greenwich village (1892)

daytonian in ny blog has a lot of cool info on it:

this one is cold spring, ny

 

 

 

here is a render i saw of a new one they want to build in cold spring near the hudson

 

 

 

this one is in greenwich village --- cnn's anderson cooper renovated it and lives there

it's rather unusual in that it is a fire patrol station

those were run by a consortium of insurance companies to protect property

surprisingly, this service was just recently disbanded -- more on all that:

and last is another recent shot of a station in the south bronx (b.1906)

can't forget this -- the ff union hall on e23rd st

 

here is an unusual station, in a trailer right under the highline in chelsea. it might be temporary:

 

this one turned retail and into one of nyc's bazillion shady money laundering nail salons  :-o

 

from over the weekend --

 

this beautiful old station in center city philadelphia is converted into a restaurant

 

 

 

this 1960s-early 70s crap is on south street...

 

 

 

...however, being philly it has a great mural

 

 

 

 

Those are very cool buildings! Thanks for posting that. Most people detest those architectural styles from the 60s and 70s but I'm confident it will ultimately hold a special place in or hearts and in historical memory.

^ a few things from that most unfortunate 1960s-70s era will hold special places, like the loring greenway in downtown mpls for a random example off the top of my head, but far and wide most of the structures like that fire station are utter crap that will rightly be leveled and rebuilt over. or at least i would hope so. however, none of us alive today have a say on that!

from today in jamaica, queens - this crew is the hillside hurricanes

 

more firehouses!

Station/Engine No. 5 in Cincinnati changed their logo recently. Within the last year at least, but likely the last couple of months. I just noticed it yesterday.

Old Logo:

^ i like the new one a thousand times better -- its very cool -- i can't even the graphics on the old one!

seems our licensing folks needs to have a talk with someone.
