FDNY Ladder 9 House


Fire Department of New York, Ladder 9, 209 Elizabeth Street, Manhattan. Ladder 9 was orginized in October 20, 1865 just up the street at 195 Elizabeth Street (the address changed to 209 in 1882). They moved to their current house at 42 Great Jones Street in 1948. They now share quarters with Engine 33.

I posted this picture on March 30, 2011 and through the comment section discovered the history of the bakery from Mr. La Rosa's grandson and a past employee. I latter received a comment that this was Ladder 9's old station.
