Hose Cart No. 5
1910
The 1910 Oldsmobile, the new Hose Company No. 5 machine, stands in front of Engine House No. 5 at the corner of Monroe (Canal) and Leonard St. Several members of the Engine House are sitting in the vehicle, and three members stand at the rear. Another vehicle is visible behind the Hose Cart, possibly an Oldsmobile, but the make is not identified. In the background a shop advertises "Stationery, cigars, and Tobacco" on a sign over the entrance.
