    That happens to be my favorite conversion in this neighborhood. Tavern on Dean has a picture of the firehouse with all the firemen in the picture (I think it is from the early 50's).

    This is a great picture Whynot31!   If I am not mistaken my Great Uncle Tom McNulty is the first guy standing there on the ground and my Aunt's brother is the last guy on the right standing on the ground.  Great find.  I never saw this on Brooklyn pixs.
