Brooklyn Fire Headquarters
Brooklyn Fire Headquarters, Fire station in Downtown Brooklyn, United States.
The red granite building features a five-story structure with a seven-story watchtower rising 126 feet above Jay Street near Willoughby Street.
Frank Freeman designed this Richardsonian Romanesque fire headquarters in 1892, which served the Brooklyn Fire Department until its merger with New York City in 1898.
The building represents the transition from volunteer to professional firefighting services in Brooklyn during the late 19th century urban development.
The structure contains residential apartments since the 1970s, following its conversion from an active fire station that housed Engine 207 and Ladder 110.
The original elevator from the 1890s remained operational into the 2010s, demonstrating the durability of late 19th-century engineering.
