The New York City Fire Museum
houses one of the nation's most important collections of fire related art and artifacts
from the late 18th century to the present. Among its holdings are painted leather buckets,
helmets, parade hats and belts, lanterns and tools, pre Civil War hand pumped fire engines,
horse drawn vehicles and early motorized apparatus. The New York City Fire Museum is
located in a renovated 1904 firehouse at 278 Spring Street
in the SoHo district of Manhattan.

Check out some of SoHo's cool museums if you are really interested in learning about the art and culture of the area. The museums SoHo has to offer are anything but ordinary.
Pressured on many sides, the city eventually gave up on attempting to keep all of the Cast Iron District as industrial space, and the area received historical designation as SoHo in 1973.
