CHARLESTON FIRE DEPT 1907
Hose Wagon & Ladder Wagon on Court Street in front of the Kanawha County Jail and county courthouse. Photos of the old jail are extremely rare. It sat on Court & Virginia Street. The current middle section of the courthouse is on the left. The house in the background would be on the North West corner of Virginia Street. Of these three photos, only one has ever been published. This is the first time the other two have ever been seen.

About these photos....
The above is a sample of how these photos looked when I received them. 100 years can be unkind to any photo that has not been cared for properly. One photo was torn in several places. Through the magic (and hard work) of using computer programs, I managed to salvage these great photos after many hours of tedious restoration. Here is an unrestored panorama of the Charleston Fire Dept. ( Click on the photo to make it very large )
