DescriptionFiremen in uniform sit or stand on two horse-drawn vehicles. A steam pumper drawn by three horses is at the left. The wagon at the right holds fire hose and other equipment. A brick firehouse is in the background. The building has a frame dormer with a Palladian window with an attached flagpole and a tall round tower, probably a hose tower. A metal fence is at the right beyond a street with trolley tracks and a sidewalk. Flowers, possibly geraniums, grow in a small garden in a lawn with a bench in the right background.
