Here is the Vigilant Hose Company No. 1 (VHC, get it?) in Shippensburg, Pa. celebrating a long and illustrious history of decorating for the Holidays. The building you see here was built in 1928 and a tree was added in 1934. That tree came down in 2001 and was replaced by this tree. Remember us decorating last month? Check out this blogpost, on the Shippensburg Fire Department Blog, for the whole and complete story of this tree.
I'm also doing something I don't normally do and add a picture from someone else. I believe this was taken by the legendary Photographer Clyde Laughlin in 1940 and is a piece from the VHC archives. This will explain why we decorated like we do.
Merry Christmas... 5 days to go.
Looking at the old print... I kinda like the dark doors, can't tell if they are red or some other color... E4 Lt
