Ben Schumin Photography Portfolio

Fire alarm horn/strobe, remote annunciator, and pull station at the entrance to the Forman Mills store on Rhode Island Avenue NE in Washington DC. Note that while the building has a Simplex fire alarm system, it uses Wheelock notification appliances. This is contrary to what one normally sees in a Simplex system from this period, as Simplex usually supplies a complete system, including notification appliances of its own design.
