Fire Department on Wednesday, November 5, 2003 to cut the
ribbon on the newly renovated quarters of Engine 10 and Ladder

The Ten House, located at 124 Liberty Street, directly across

out windows and doors and causing extensive damage to the
facade, interior structures, utilities, lighting, ventilation
system and the roof.
