Collection of Fire Hose Drying Towers

Syracuse has a nice collection of old fire stations with their fire hose drying towers still intact. None of these stations are still in use, and most are in private hands now. 

Repurposed Firehouse

From the JCB Properties' website, taken from an article in the Syracuse newspaper on September 1, 2009:

Built in 1915, the Engine 14 fire station at Solar and West Division streets had not been used by firefighters for a long time. The city stopped using the building as a fire station in 1961.

The building retains its original tin ceiling panels, brick interior walls and six large wood lockers where firefighters stored their gear.

It also still has a tower where firefighters hung their cotton-jacketed fire hoses to dry.

JCB Properties is a development company. They've done a nice job.
