MUSEUM HISTORY

The kitchen leads off the dining room. It appears the lower cabinets maybe original, but I was unable to see much due to storage located there. The door leading to the outside is sealed. There is small gas cook stove locate d the that may be original. I was unable to see if the kitchen sink is still there. The is a door facing Fletcher Street but it is sealed.

ENGINE ROOM
The engine room (bay 1 & 2) is original, the walls are plaster with a shiny brick (subway tile) lining the walls about five (5) feet from the floor. There are several indications of previous water leaks either from past broken water pipes or water damage from roof drainage, as indicated in the photographs. The ceiling is tin pressed but has been covered by sheetrock. The original pole hole is located under the sheetrock.

The two overhead wood doors are original, but in fair condition, open and close with ease. The electrical appear to be original as all the light switches appear to be original. The lighting in the engine bay has been changed to florescent tube lighting mounted along the walls instead of what was a single light in several places in the center of the ceilings of both bays.

There is a wall separating the two bays that is not original. The door to the work-shop room located behind the engine-room, (bay1), in the add-on (1945) is original. The open area of bay 2 add-on appears to be original (1945 add-on) but was full of clutter and a thorough inspection could not be completed. There is a hole on the ceiling at the center beam in the front between the overhead doors indicating a roof leak at one time. Floor drains in the floors are still there with covers.
