Our next volunteer fire company in Harrisburg would be the Susquehanna Engine Company No. 9. The Susquehanna was on South Cameron Street, and I'm not sure where, but it no longer exists.
Number 10 would be the Reily Hose Company No. 10 located at Dauphin and 4th Street. Organized in 1885, the operated out of ashed on the 500 block of Wood Street until 1889 when land was donated to built a firehouse. This frame station was replaced in 1899 by this beautiful building, which, along with a lot of the old firehouses closed in 1980. In 1991 the city took possession of the building again and created the fire museum. The website can be found here.
I like how you processed this photo of the Reily. One of my favorite old time stations..
