Description
Scene in color 1914
Original Title: Three horse team fire truck
Location: 1327 F Street, Washington DC
This thing is a water tower, it was used to fires out from a height, this one is pulled by trained horses. There are a number of people looking at it from windows, I can only assume it was a weird thing to see in those days, or maybe the bell was ringing.
I think they shot this just to show it off, while there is movement, you can see almost all of the detail it has to offer.
I was able to find similar pieces online, and most were red. The detail is yellow, it seems to be the main color used for the decorations.
As for the buildings, those are unknown, I like splashing purple into my works, you'll see it in almost everything I make. In this case, I thought that tea cup inn, would look right in that color.
