60th Precinct and City Magistrates Court, July 20, 1958.
Constructed in 1897, just prior to consolidation, this tan brick and sandstone structure was the location of the 60th Precinct and the Coney Island Magistrates Court. The building was featured in a Collier's Magazine story in 1951 that described the minor crimes and plaintiffs that on any given day came before before Magistrate Charles E. Ramsgate. They ranged from bootleg knish peddlers to a man arrested for changing into his bathing suit while wearing his wife’s dress for cover.
The municipal functions of the building ceased in 1958 and it was demolished within the next decade. In 1971 it and its neighbors (the 1886-built and 1902-built Engine 245 firehouses) were replaced with a new, modern style police station and firehouse.
