Description:

Sepia-toned photo of the firemen of Neptune #6 fire station which was located at the northwest corner of Larned and St. Antoine. Although the image is very faded, the name, "Neptune," can be seen over the central arched doorway of the ornate, 2-story brick fire station building. A wagon with ladders is visible in the foreground with 4 firemen to the left side and 6 firemen to the right. It appears that a large number of spectators are standing behind the wagon. A handwritten note at the bottom of the photo indicates "Hand engine #6, 1855."
