Description:

Photograph. A mounted, sepia-toned print of a "flashlight photo" of a firehouse interior where a fire engine is hitched up to a pair of horses and surrounded by ten firefighters--four riding on the engine, three handling the horses with another approaching, one opening the door, and the last sliding down the fire pole. A number 3 is visible on the stack of the fire engine, suggesting this is Engine Company No. 3. "John Forster & Son, Photographers, Manufrs. of Picture Frames. 178 & 180 Gratiot Ave., Detroit, Mich." printed on verso.
