This from Eric Haak in response to the recent post about Engine 68’s old house:

I could not find the pictures I took a few years ago of Engine 68’s old house.  Here is a shot of Engine 128’s old quarters at 2100 W. Eastwood.  Part of the 1936 series of houses, it also was home to FMS 6 and the North Side Fire Prevention Bureau.  This information is courtesy of the Ken Little/ Father John McNalis masterpiece series of Chicago Fire House books of coarse.  It is nice to see another house sporting the original doors.  Don’t know if they were original to 1936 but they are shown in 1956 when Mr. Little photographed the house.  This picture was taken in October of 2009.
