That's right,it's an old firehouse.It's the old home of fire Engine 31 located at 87 Lafayette St in lower Manhattan.The Flemish Revival structure was built in 1895 by architectural firm Napoleon Le Brun & Sons.Napoleon Le Brun was an American architect known for his church building work in Philadelphia.The utility firehouse was decommissioned in 1972 by the NYFD,but was made a historic landmark a year before.DCTV and the Chinese-Planning Council purchased the building in 1983 for 400,000 dollars and did additional restoration.

The Amish. Their closed and little-known world, along with strict rules of conduct, generate curiosity and a desire to learn more about this "forbidden" or hidden way of life. The Amish are a unique example of the preservation of a traditional culture and way of life over centuries, which is of ethnographic and historical interest.
Their existence without the internet, smartphones, and cars in the 21st century is a striking contrast to a globalized, technologically dependent world. This evokes wonder and a desire to understand how this is possible.
Nostalgia for simplicity: For many, Amish life evokes simpler times, subsistence farming, strong family ties, and a strong sense of community, something lacking in today's individualistic society.
A curiosity familiar to many brought me to this unique place. Today, Here is my photo essay from the Amish village located at the Landis Valley Village and Farm Museum.
