Red Hook Firehouse The Italianate style firehouse on Van Brunt Street at Seabring Street was built in 1872 as a new home for Engine Company 2 and Ladder Company 1 of the Brooklyn Fire Department (B.F.D.). The original quarters that housed the engine and ladder companies were located at Van Brunt Street and Carroll Street.[1] The first all paid fire companies in Red Hook, Engine Company 2 and Ladder Company 1 were commissioned by the BFD on September 15, 1869. Well known for their firefighting skills, Engine Company 2 originally consisted of 14 men who had served in the volunteer fire department. The fire companies were reorganized twice. The first reorganization came in 1899 when the BFD merged with the FDNY and Engine Company 2 was renumbered to 102. The second reorganization came in 1913 when the companies were renumbered to Engine Company 202 and Ladder Company 101. At the time of reorganization the Brooklyn Fire Department had 13 engine companies and 6 ladder companies.[1] Red Hook Firehouse Red Hook Firehouse - Hose Storage The miniature house on the roof of the structure was originally used for hose storage.[2] According to Atlas Obscura, some of the notable calls for the engine and ladder companies at the firehouse included: An exploding schooner carrying munitions and salt. A collapsing tenement building. Cotton bale fires on the New York Dock Company Piers. The Barber Steamship Company Pier Fire of 1934 that destroyed Red Hook’s Pier 38. A warehouse fire that spread to the 7th Avenue subway lines. Red Hook Firehouse - Friends of Firefighters Sign No longer an active firehouse, the building serves as the headquarters for non-profit Friends of Firefighters. Formed in the wake of the September 11th terrorist attacks, the organization provides “independent, confidential and free or low-cost counseling and wellness services to active and retired FDNY firefighters and their family members”.[3] References: "Engine Company 202 Brooklyn" www.nyfd.com Frishberg, Hannah "Van Brunt Street Firehouse CH & L Engine Co. 101, Engine 202" Atlas Obscura.

I've been scratching my head as to how this problem is solved. This building has no gutter. Rain simply falls between the cladding where it meets some form of the waterproof membrane before running off onto the ground below. Cross battening will need to penetrate the waterproof membrane to get a...

Low Tide – Staithes, 13" x 10" After four decades as a successful and respected architect and nationally recognized architectural illustrator, Bill Hook is on the threshold of a whole new world of artistic expression. Breaking away from the exacting constraints of the commercial world, he is just beginning to experience the challenges and rewards of plein air work. A turning point came in 2007, when he received a fellowship to live and paint for two months in the tiny hilltown of Civita di Bagnoregio, Italy. In two months, he produced over 60 drawings and paintings. He returned to Civita in May, 2010 and then continued on to the small English fishing village of Staithes, where he enjoyed the changing weather and light of the Yorkshire coast. Although his work is informed and influenced by his architectural background, he now feels free to break away from realistically recording a scene and to focus more on the quality of light and the feeling of a place and time. Church Street – Staithes, 13" x 10" White House I, 10" x 6" Bill was juried into the NWWS Annual Open Exhibition in 2009, and into the Richeson 75 Landscapes Show in both 2009 and 2010. In September, 2010, he participated in his first major plein air event -- the 5th Annual US Open in Coupeville, WA -- and had two pieces selected for the show. He received an Honorable Mention for one of those paintings and it also sold at the live auction. Bill continues to pursue both plein air and studio work. He currently has six pieces hanging in a collective show at The Artique Underground Gallery in Frederick MD.
