The quarters of Riverside Hose - E80 is located at the corner of Franklin and White Streets.

The Tarrytown FTC is located in between the Striped Bass Restaurant and Losee Field. You have to cross the "H-Bridge." If you're coming down Main Street go up the bridge, left across, left down and follow the bridge down the roadway. It will be on your right hand side. Look for a green fence.
