Baltimore MD Truck 16
1954 American LaFrance
100’ Aerial
#N-22 Type: 7-100-TLO
Looks like Truck 16 is in a parade. Everyone is dressed in their Class A uniform.
Over the Boys' Latin School building you can see the clock tower at the B & O Railroad's Mount Royal station. Although the B & O doesn't operate the depot any longer, the clock tower survives.
Baltimore MD Engine 23
1948 Mack
750 GPM
Engine 23 is equipped a "Baltimore Bathtub". That's the large round bottom fixture mounted over the hosebed. That "Bathtub" was used as the equipment compartment on B.F.D. engines. This Engine is also furnished with three pre-piped turret nozzles. Behind the hard suction hose this apparatus is lettered "High Pressure Service".
Baltimore MD Truck 18
1940/41 Seagrave Tractor/18XX Hayes
85’ Aerial
Baltimore purchased two Seagrave tractors in 1940 and four in 1941. It is not known which year this tractor was delivered.
The tiller wheel on Hayes aerials was located under the aerial ladder. Look closely and you can see the steering wheel.
Note the billboard advertising Wrigley's Spearmint Gum. Just above the STOP sign is a storefront that is the location of Walbrook Hardware & Supply.
I've been organizing my older photos lately and ran across this gem from 2004. I have no memory of the sign or taking this photo even though it is only a few blocks from my apartment.
The beauty salon was long gone by the time of this photo. The building itself had been completely renovated by October 2008 and there's now a commercial real estate firm on the ground floor.
Here's a 2010 view of the building from a different angle.
