This 3-story Beaux-Arts firehouse was home to the insurance-industry-backed, private Fire Patrol 2 from 1906 until 2006, when it was disbanded. The building was designed by Franklin Baylies for the Fire Patrol of the New York Board of Fire Underwriters, with a facade in red brick, limestone and terra-cotta. The ground floor has a segmental-arched garage door with a carved-head keystone, flanked by a pair of pedestrian entrances. There are stone cornices above the 1st and 2nd floors, and stone enframements around the windows, which have black metal mullions. The spandrels between the 3rd & 4th floors have carved panels, and the top-floor windows are round-arched with keystones. A graceful cartouche decorates the roof parapet. The New York Board of Fire Underwriters, which oversaw the fire patrol, held onto the building until it was sold to globetrotting CNN anchor Anderson Cooper in 2010 who comissioned a conversion and restoration by Cary Tamarkin.
