Sandborn Insurance maps show great details of building locations. On this map, from 1917, you can see the location of the "new" firehouse that was built for the 11's around 1908-10. Their old station that is standing at 2100 Eastern Avenue is just across the street and down a few lots from the other location. No photos of the station at 2123 Eastern have been discovered. Although the company was disbanded in 1922, in 1921 they were provided with a new Ahrens-Fox 750-gpm pumper.

The quarters of Engine 11 at 2123 Eastern Avenue bore a strong resemblence to Engine 38's house. This station was only in operation for a few years before being closed due to the motorization of the department.

This view shows the interior of the station as seen from the west. The lot where this house was constructed backed up to the Ohio River.

The firefighters of Fire Co. 11 pose for their official photo that would appear in the "History of the Cincinnati Fire Department" which was published in 1895. The old station still stands and is in an area that is really looking up. Maybe a rehab is in the future?
