	John Reilly noticed that the still in use 88th Precinct and the old Traffic "F" house (see photos below) were extremely similar and did some research on them. The buildings were designed as precincts by the same architect and were built around 1889-90. The current 88th started as Brooklyn's 4th Precinct and then became the NYPD's 56th before becoming the 88th in 1929. Old Traffic F started as Brooklyn's 13th Precinct and then became the NYPD's 58th before becoming a Traffic precinct in 1922 John Reilly also submitted this early "muster" photo of Brooklyn's 13th Precinct which later became the NYPD 58th Pct. in 1898, the 158th Pct. in 1908 and the 98th Pct. in 1918 On 1/16/22 the precinct was abolished and the building became Traffic F
