Engine Company 31 This building, constructed in 1895, is among the best of the many eclectic firehouses built by Napoleon Le Brun & Sons. Today it seems surprising that such an elaborate design would be used for such a utilitarian a structure. The entire spirit of the building - with its corner tower, steep roof, dormers, and stone and iron cresting - recalls a romantic fairy tale.
