Inside the station, a portion of a fire apparatus, with suspended barding for horses, is visible . The verso features the stamped information, "H[erbert]. P[atrick]. Callahan, 6435 Lincoln Ave., Detroit, Mich." below the handwritten note "Property of." A handwritten note taped to the verso reads, "Callahan, later a Batt. Chief, not Harry or Mike or Tim."
