Project Firebox 84
An ongoing catalog of New York’s endangered Fireboxes.

Up on the hill which is Old Astoria, an expanse of manses and luxurious homes, one is normally blown down by the sheer Victorian glory of a manifest architectural record. It is easy to miss the tireless firebox, ignominiously serving its purpose. This scarlet gendarme wears its corroded complexion proudly, and it is always watchful.
The Newtown Pentacle 
Do I perceive a stickball strike-out zone rectangle on the wall to the left of the firebox? Placed above a cellar opening? Hmnnn. In any event, when was the last time you saw anybody playing stickball in this day and age?
