Description:

Mounted sepia-toned photo showing nine firemen and the equipment of Engine Company No. 3 in front of the fire station on Clifford Street. The firemen are standing in front of a horse-drawn hose wagon and a horse-drawn steam fire engine. The brick fire station building with large wooden doors can be seen in the background. Decorative stone carvings that depict a fire department motif (crossed ladders and helmet) can be seen on either side of the fire station above the windows. The street name sign showing "Clifford St." can be seen just to the left of the crossed ladders motif. A wood frame building can be seen at the far right side of the photo along with three men who are standing near the rear end of the steam engine. Handwriting on the verso notes "Engine Co. #3 c.1871."
