Although ths is a second due box for E65, they
Are closer than the first due engine, E26, and
Have a better run to the box than E26 does,
but it is a first due box for E26. No idea why???

I have a hand written 1960's assignment card for this box. Also have card with a different 1st alarm assignment one block south Box 767 @40th & B'way:

You're guess is as good as mine.

Back when Engine 2 was on the 2-2(2nd Alarm). By the way, where was Rescue 1 at the time? Lower Manhattan?

Back when the card was printed in 1960, Rescue 1 was with E65

Wow, I never knew the Rescue was ever at 65's. That must have been a tight fit.

Rescue 1 was with E65 from May 1, 1960 to Feb. 1, 1973 ;) During 1967 I got an opportunity to buff E65 while working for a camera store chain that had 4 stores near E65. They were at 1122 and 1145 Ave. of Americas, 44 W. 45th St., and 43 W. 43rd St. :)

There is a very good chance E65 and R1 will be sharing a house again soon...

???

But mainly, I highly doubt, especially with modern rigs as big as they are, that both Engine 65 and Rescue 1 could fit in the same single-bay, small firehouse. I would expect the Rescue to be in a larger house.
 
There is no way R1 will fit into E65s querters with their current rig, im not even sure rescue 1 s rig would actually fit through the door due to its height.

I would assume to maybe Engine 8/Ladder 2/Battalion 8 quarters, since it's the largest in the Battalion.
 
E21 has more room, as I remember, L2 was there during the 60's and the High Ladder was also stationed there for a while. ;)
