The fire station in the foreground at the top was called the Hose House. The only place that can still be recognized here is the Bancroft house, the house beside the library. A very little of the library can be seen in the top picture; it shows just over the peaked roof of the Bancroft porch. The house can be seen in the lower photo, but not very well because of the trees.      Fire Department History           Now and Then Menu                HOME
