City of Brooklyn Fire Headquarters (formerly)

365 Jay Street
From the MetroTech BID website:
Brooklyn's Old Fire Department Headquarters
365 Jay Street near Willoughby St. In 1892, the independent city of Brooklyn erected a spectacular new headquarters for its fire department on Jay Street. The Romanesque Revival-style building is a masterpiece designed by architect Frank Freeman, one of Brooklyn's most talented late 19th-century designers. Fire engines passed through a massive red sandstone arch once emblazoned with the words "FIRE HEAD-QUARTERS." The upper facade of golden brick and matching terra cotta is capped by a steep roof and a tall watchtower. It now houses residential tenants.
