Author and TV personality Anderson Cooper is said to own this former fire station that was converted into a home. Firefighters who lived and worked here before the building was converted say it is haunted by the ghost of a firefighter named Schwartz who, distraught after learning of his wife’s affair, hanged himself from the rafters here in the 1930s. The apparition of a hanging corpse and strange noises coming from the attic have been reported for many years.
