That I don’t know I took the pics in oct on patrol. I know they use to have the GB2 sign on display inside. ---

Yeah it is. You can see how small it is compared to the picture the Buffalo GBs took. The 1:1 sign is at least as big as the bottom Window for comparison. ---

Was there ever a reason stated why the 1:1 sign was not built double sided? Looks nice in the window but not quite as magical as hanging proper. ---

Looks nice in the window but not quite as magical as hanging proper. It’s double-sided, I presume they either hung it like this for easier photo-opportunities for the premier, or they haven’t yet got a hanging bracket sorted for it (I’ve no idea if it’s heavier than the _[Ghostbusters II](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/games/ghostbusters-ii-activision)_ sign they have). I still can’t get over how clean the Firehouse looks, it looks like construction was finished on it last year, not a century ago. ---

I still can’t quite believe this is just one half of the original firehouse…and that there are not more photos of the pre-1914 configuration. ---

Chances are there are some photographs of the full structure in it’s double-bay configuration, but they’re either in private archives, or haven’t yet been digitized. Would love to see the full front of the building from when it was originally built. ---

Well they did a bit of a renovation over the last couple years, so I’m sure that has something to do with it. ---
