This from Eric Haak:

For anyone who is interested, Engine 85’s old quarters at 3700 W. Huron is now a red-X building.  Don’t know if there are any plans to demolish the 114 year old building but with red-X status, plans could eventually be in the works.  Although it was occupied by a church for a while, it does not look like it has been actively used for a long time.  Engine 85 was the still engine for the Our Lady of the Angels school fire in 1958.
