Up for sale is a remarkably crisp, rare, and original antique photograph capturing the early history of the Columbian Hose Co. No. 2 fire department out of Newburgh, New York.
This beautifully detailed image features a classic horse-drawn fire department hose wagon explicitly marked "COLUMBIAN HOSE NO. 2" across the side box. A magnificent draft horse stands hitched to the rig while two fire officers sit atop the driver's box. Standing proudly alongside the apparatus are two additional firefighters in complete turn-of-the-century service coats and caps.
The backdrop showcases exceptional historical architecture, including the stone firehouse structure displaying the carved name "COLUMBIAN HOSE CO. NO. 2." over a grand arched garage door bay. Also visible in the background are neighboring storefronts, including an early "Ice Office & Depot."
