I really like the neon sign over the doors at Harriman. A Ward Lafrance and a Ferrara occupy the front ramp.

That's preety cool Steve!

Harriman was one of the towns I stopped at. Albeit for dinner and trains. I spent the night here and then headed north. Wish I would have taken the time to stop at the fire house.

Union Army Fire Station at Chattanooga, TN, about 1864. National Archives Photo.
Steve I believe the pix you posted of the US Warehouse in Chattanooga was also a Union Army fire station. The Union Army did maintain a company of fire fighters that traveled with the Army repairing and operating Confederate fire apparatus.
