Located at 281 First Street this beautiful station is still in use today. The firehouse opened in the spring of 1889 and the exterior has only had minimal alterations from its' original appearance.
From what I can see the apparatus show, from left to right, is: a hose wagon, city service ladder truck, steam fire engine and a chemical wagon.
On the far left of the photo you can see just a bit of an automobile. The card was mailed to 776 Prospect Ave. Bronx, NY on August 19, 1913. I would think that this photo was recent to that date.
