p.1 #1 · #306 Iron fireman's final home


The iron fireman on top of the Honeoye Falls Village Offices building used to be carried in parades in the late 1800's. A contest started where one fire department sought to steal the coveted figure from another one, year after year. It was first owned by the St.Catherines fire department from Ontario Canada, but Rochester NY, Albion NY, and Avon NY fire departments have also had pocession at one time. In 1893 the Honeoye Falls fire department managed to steal it for themselves and no one has been able to take it since.
Thanks for looking

An interesting story and history. I wondered whether you could get an angle without the grey building lower left. Great subject for the WA.

Thanks for the comments Bill and Bev,
I may just try to crop out the gray building. Another angle isn't possible for me.
