Up until just a few years ago this picture of the house in 1960 looked pretty much like the station does today. Changes have been made and the wood, swing-open doors are now gone along with the cobblestone apparatus ramp.

1938 Ahrens-Fox 750-GPM 100-Tank Shop #25138
One of 3 pumpers purchased from Ahrens-Fox in 1938, these were the first C.F.D. rigs to have a rear windshield for the protection of the firefighters riding the tail board. Another unusual feature of these engines was that they were equipped with Seagrave centrifugal pumps. The 38\'s were photographed on a snowy day in Carthage while they were on the scene of a 1-alarm at Seymour Avenue & Dillward Street.

This interior view of the 38's quarters shows the horses in their stalls ready for the next alarm. The drop harnesses are ready! Aren't the old horse stalls now the location of the kitchen there?

The quarters of Engine & Rescue 38 is really a beautiful building. This view from the rear shows a couple of features that were essential when the firehouse was built.
First, you can see the hose tower rising above the roofline of the structure, and second, you can see the doors to the hay loft are still in place along with the pulley that was used to lift the hay up to the second floor.

The quarters of Engine 38 were designed by architect Harry Hake. There have been many changes to the interior of this station since it was opened.
