1. Sepia-toned gelatin silver photo showing the interior of the fire station of Engine Company No. 21 with nine firemen who are preparing to answer a call

Description:
Sepia-toned gelatin silver photo showing the interior of the fire station of Engine Company No. 21 with nine firemen who are preparing to answer a call. Two firemen can be seen sliding down a pole on the left side of the photo while the other firemen are hitching the horses to the steam fire engine. A system of lines and pulleys can be seen on the ceiling of the station which is being used to lower the harnesses onto the horses. A firemen's belt with the number, "21," can be seen hanging from the driver's seat just above the left front wheel. The photo was taken at night so there is a fair amount of light reflection which tends to wash out the image. The mounting cardboard is printed in black ink at the top, "Taken At Night." The photographer's name is printed in black ink in the lower left corner: "J. Forster & Son, 178-180 Gratiot Ave., Detroit." The lower right corner is printed in black ink, "Headquarters for Flashlights."
