- Description:
- Sepia-toned gelatin silver photo of the firemen of Engine Company #6 in front of the fire station building. A horse-drawn steam fire engine is parked in the street and a separate horse-drawn hose wagon is parked behind it. Seven firemen are standing in front of the two vehicles. One fireman is seated in the driver's seat of the fire engine and another in the driver's seat of the hose wagon. The name of each fireman is written along the bottom of the photo as follows (left to right): Peter Ortwine, Max Worth, Charles Little, Peter Smith, Frank Kelliger, Dan Carroll, Billy Werner, Ted Denier, Jim O'Grady. Several bystanders can be seen in the background and a policeman is standing at the far right. The brick fire station building shows the number, "6," carved in the keystone over the central doorway. The structure also incudes a watchtower and five people are standing on the balcony. On the left side of the building (midway up at the corner), the street name sign, "Russell St.," is visible. The word, "Russell," can also be seen on the glass of the streetlight that is located behind the fire engine. Handwriting on the verso notes "Man on extreme right is Henry Miller, policeman. A noted character in the Police Dept." and also "This is one of two engines and crews who went to Chicago fire in 1871. No. 3 was the other."
