This was the fire barn near my home at 217 Crescent St NE. It
abutted an alley on the East and on the North.
The alley to the north separated it from Coat and Apron, a commercial laundry
where my neighbor John Ellison worked.
The alley on the East was Claremont and had houses on it.
There are no City Assessor's property cards still available for this site.
