NYC Fire Alarm Telegraph Stations
This collage shows the four Fire Alarm Telegraph Stations built in New York City during the 1910s and '20s. Clockwise from the upper left, are the central stations for the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. These facilities were placed in parks to isolate them from other buildings to reduce the possibility that fire from neighboring buildings would spread to them. All of these buildings are still used by the Fire Department of New York (FDNY).
