Pat, that was a good one. I have been meaning to bring my camera to work so i could get a shot of the old Cortlandt Eng. Co. Figures JT beat me to it and knew it lol. I figured it wouldnt be fair for a Tri-Villager to make a guess.

It later became the Montrose Free Library, but is currently a dance studio i believe.

the original fire house was just facing down orchard street (coles market parking lot). the first brick was laid in sept. 1920. the addition of the three bays on the kings ferry rd side was done around the late 1940's. when montrose fd bought the old 123 and old 122. the property of the current fire house was purchased from the Hendrick Hudson School District for $1.00. i believe when the ladder was purchased was when the new fire house was being built. when im at the fire house i will see what pictures i can dig up and ill get them posted. any questions please ask if i dont know the answer i will try and found out from our older members.

Served as firehouse in Westchester County.

I didn't see this identified. It's Briarcliff Manor, replaced by a new building a couple hundred feet down the road in the mid/late 60's.
