ca. 1911. Sepia photograph of Engine Co. No. 4's new quarters in the 200 block of E. 26th St. near "C." This large two-story brick structure had three apparatus doors. Three men are standing outside the facility, seemingly dwarfed by the massive building. Engine Co. No. 4 had moved from 505-507 E. 26th to 224 E. 26th in 1911 and remained there until 1972. It is on both the City and National Registry.

ca. 1911. June, 1911, saw Engine Co. No. 4 in new quarters at 224 E. 26th St., just a few blocks distant from their old location. They were now housed in a two-story brick building that was equipped with three bays. Sepia photograph shows the men and equipment of Station No. 4. In 1910 they received a 2nd class American LaFrance Metropolitan steam fire engine, possibly shown above. This brick building designed by Frederic Shaw is still standing and is on the city and national registry of historic buildings.
