Pretty sure that is the Old Carmel Firehouse, that is now the Knights of Columbus.... if my detective work is correct with identifying the cross on the side of the building and doing a search for KofC in Putnam County and getting the google street view of the front.

If memory serves this was also used by Carmel VAC, prior to building their own quarters.

[texastom791 31]

I think it may have been used by the vac as well for a short period of time I'll have to ask one of the older members. I know that besides the station we're at now on garrett place we've also been on fowler ave.

[TR54 239]

Served as a firehouse in Westchester County.

Name the department and the location.

New Rochelle FD north ave right off the Exit from the hutch

That was old station 6 NRFD. Even though it was on North Ave it was referred to as the Mill Rd station.

And what it looked like "back in the day"

A bit of a reverse of what became of the Firehouse, this is more of "what became a Firehouse".

I am trying to find a photo of it from back then, but the present day Carmel Fire House was originally a Grand Union Supermaket. It was a supermaket until the late '60s. The Department bought it and converted it in the mid to late '70s to what it is today.

Correct

More to follow this week. Thanks for replies

[LTNRFD 266]

That was old station 6 NRFD. Even though it was on North Ave it was referred to as the Mill Rd station.

Because at one time there were 2 fire houses on North Ave, Station 6 in the previous pictures was know as the Mill Rd fire house and Station 3 at North Ave and Eastchester Rd was/is known as the Eastchester Rd fire house.

When I was assigned to Station 3 I would tell people I worked at the Eastchester Rd fire house.

[TR54 239]

Served as firehouse in Westchester County.

[LTNRFD 266]

Served as firehouse in Westchester County.

I can see why they stopped using it as a fire house. It must have been extremely difficult getting the rigs in and out of the building. Having that big tree in front of the bays !!!!

The Commissioners Bldg was home to Carmel 406 (Someone explain that) for more then a "short period of time"

[TR54 239]

Served as the Village Police / Fire / Muncipal offices up until the 1960's. Westchester County.

Would it help to know that the new Fire Station, Police Station, Municipal Building is about 350 feet to the south of this former one.
