As seen around … Chicago

This from Steve Redick:

Took the drone on a few flights. Another classic house I wanted to document was old Engine 61, also home to Squad 3 and Amb 36 as well as an EMS division in later years. Plus a view of the downtown skyline as seen from above the house.

This from Steve Redick:

Here are still images and link to the video for the drone shoot at old Truck 51  “Castle in the Ghetto.” This is/was in my opinion the most beautiful house in the entire CFD

As seen around … Chicago

This fro Steve Redick:

One of the nicest classic CFD houses is old Engine 80 in the Pullman area at 108th and Cottage Grove. The house is in desperate need of repair and I fear is in really rough shape on the inside. From the pictures it looks like some kind of preservation work was done on the roof. I used the drone to try and get some interesting views.  The watch tower is a one-of-a-kind structure and I would love to know if it’s still safe to ascend … hard to tell from the outside. Here are some stills from an aerial perspective.
