Chicago Engine 77 – some final history (part 1)
Sure! Here's the rewritten content:
---
I recently received some photos from Dan McInerney taken at Engine 77's station on its final day before being shut down. These images capture a mix of structural details and everyday items left behind. Let me walk you through what I saw:
The first set of photos includes shots of the hose tower from both above and below. One particularly interesting detail is a close-up of the bricks on the second floor. If you look closely, you’ll notice the inscription “W.E.D CO. Load Bearing†embedded in the bricks. It seems like this might have been intended to reinforce the weight-bearing capacity of the structure above the roofline where the hose tower extends.
Then there are a couple more images—one showing the view of the apparatus floor as you ascend the stairs, another focusing on a turnout coat casually left hanging in what was essentially an open space designated as a locker near the fire engine. There’s also a shot of the watch bed, which looks like it hasn’t changed much over the years. Following that, we see a picture of the kitchen, giving a glimpse into the personal side of life at the station.
Further along, there’s a series of other images including one of bay number three, a detailed view of the gear area, a clear shot of the watch bed again, and finally, a cozy image of the kitchen setup. Each photo feels like a snapshot of a bygone era, preserving memories of the firefighters who once called this place home.
Overall, these pictures are more than just visual records—they’re tributes to the dedication and camaraderie of the firefighters who served here. It’s sad to think about the closure, but these images will help keep the spirit of Engine 77 alive for years to come.
