   Jack’s Firehouse?

   Ladder 15 perhaps?

   Gotta be Jack’s Firehouse

4. dmac Says:

   It’s definitely Ladder 15. The top half of the building is almost exactly the same. The one building next to it looks almost the same, too.

   I’m going with Jack’s also.

6. Satten Says:

   This is undoubtedly where Ladder 15 is today.

   I think it’s Jack’s Firehouse. It looks exactly the same. But I’ve never seen ladder 15

   there are no highrises behind jack’s firehouse

9. Abny Says:
   March 27th, 2009 at 1:59 pm

   maybe there were in 1941

10. Abny Says:

    actually, you’re right. i don’t think it’s jack’s. jack’s only has one set of doors and it’s more squared off. i’m about as good at this as i was at my ncaa bracket!

    It’s on Sansom Street. Nodding Head/SS Oyster House.

12. Bri Guy Says:

    Undubitablely this is Ladder 15.

13. Chef Bethy Says:

    Engine 44 on sansom street!

    Hmmm…I guess I’m wrong, but I was going to guess Dock Street Brew Pub.

    Jack’s

    Jack’s on Fairmount

    Ladder 15 – I was there on Sat. night. Dinner was not being served. Crowd was far from sophisticated. Many drinking Coors light bottles and “Stoli.”

    Walked by on Saturday also- couldnt have been more disappointed- it was Mad River West. Sigh.

19. Sam Says:

    Definitely Jack’s Firehouse.

20. Foobooz Says:
    March 30th, 2009 at 2:00 pm

    Definitely not Jack’s Firehouse, this is without a doubt, the new Ladder 15 on Sansom Street.
