Established in 1887, Engine 55 is known as Cinquantacinque, which is Italian for “Fifty-Five”. Its building is recognizable not only for its iconic red doors, but its architectural style. Designed by Robertson, the building represents a transition from Romanesque Revival to the more ornate Beaux Arts style, both popular in the late 19th century. (353 Broome Street)
