1. Sepia-toned photo of a fire department chief engineer who is standing beside a seated fireman

Description:
Sepia-toned photo of a fire department chief engineer who is standing beside a seated fireman. The chief is wearing his uniform which includes a long, double-breasted coat, decorative belt with the word, "Chief," and a fireman's hat. He is also holding a speaking trumpet. The seated fireman is probably from Woodbridge Co. No. 12 since the number, "12," is visible on his belt buckle. Handwriting on the top and bottom of the photo notes, "William Lee, Chief Engineer, 1859." The verso has an oval-shaped photo of an unknown, well-dressed man.
