It was the HQ of the 344th General Hospital, USAR. The building had a note of Fame and the hospital commander was Dr. Walter Reed prior to his escapades in Panama. Great old building, steeped in history. I think it became the FDNY EMS Academy after that for a few years.GGChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01166301898633545397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2563849239571501746.post-67114607824904374162019-05-08T22:15:01.137-04:002019-05-08T22:15:01.137-04:001957....only snuck into the Old Fort once; only ca...1957....only snuck into the Old Fort once; only caught....once.

I run past most of these buildings daily as a probationary member of the FDNY EMS spring class of 2017. As I am reaching my last few weeks here at Fort Totten I am looking forward to being able to walk instead and really take in the extensive history of the Fort and the proud people that have served their time or took their very first breaths here. I have wondered countless days why the city has allowed much of the buildings to deteriorate.. they are stunning with lovely architecture.. and even more outstanding once faces and stories are reminisced .. furthermore bringing life to them. <br /><br />Thank you all for sharing your Fort Totten memories.. I'll be sure to hold them dear and share the knowledge I have learned from you all today. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2563849239571501746.post-57660246755762320312017-03-16T19:11:24.307-04:002017-03-16T19:11:24.307-04:00I was born here on 10/11/1048.

Lee was the engineer that designed the fort, as well as Ft Hamilton in Brooklyn NY. The fort was completed in 1856, and In 1956 I as well as others<br />were assigned to build scenes to celebrated the 100th centennial of Ft Totten. It took place on the parade grounds.<br />I have researched for photos of that event and even returned to the fort's historical group for same with out success. While there I was deeply saddened on how many other beautiful buildings have been left to the elements and will become to look like the Hospital.

I was 13 at the time and there were a lot of kids on base that were around the same age. We spent a lot of time exploring a lot of the spaces on the Fort but I don't think we ever discovered this hospital building. Really interesting to see how much of its history remains and really sad to realize it won't be long before all of this is gone, either through simple deterioration or via active demolition, which I think is a real risk unless someone steps up to save this space. Here's a recent post from a blog of mine about this treasure.<br /><br />http://rudyebert.blogspot.com/2014/09/fort-totten-ny-were-at-risk-of-losing.html<br /><br />I'd be VERY interested in speaking with others about any interest that might exist in trying to petition the city to see if there's a way to save this space as a park, recreation area, historical setting or anything that would prevent it from eventually vanishing. Feel free to drop me a comment on my blog post and I'll get back to you.<br /><br />Mike McDonoughRudy Eberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14925461717892568337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2563849239571501746.post-55438287847390381342015-04-21T18:57:43.045-04:002015-04-21T18:57:43.045-04:00I lived on Ft.

My parents loved to come all of the time. I used to take my friends and drink beer on the old fortifications. It is a shame the place was allowed to deteriorate. Land developers used to salivate at the prospect of constructing "Mcmansions" and the profits that it would bring them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2563849239571501746.post-66161209870053477302014-09-19T00:14:14.774-04:002014-09-19T00:14:14.774-04:00I was born at Fort Totten on May 2, 1946.

Dad was a Staff Sgt. and did photography for the Army. In his spare time he worked in the Castle as a soda jerk. I vaguely remember going there with him once for some ice cream. I remember the Hard Rock Maple captain's chairs and round table...to this day I love hard rock maple and captain's chairs LOL I have several photographs my mom took of the hospital after I was born (lots of snow that year). The photos show a tall, two floor long white building, and while part of me remembers this brick front facade, it doesn't resemble what's in the photos. Could the pictures have been taken from the back? At any rate...I remember the beautiful homes and tree-lined streets, and one officer's home in particular. My grandma cooked for him and his family and she often took me with her to play with their children. We played on the big, front porch and had wonderful afternoons. I still have a great love for the ocean and big homes on tree filled streets. We didn't live there long since dad was always putting in for somewhere else...but I'm so proud to have been born there as I'm sure others are too.Susan (Guljord)Wilsonnoreply@blogger.com
