A Sad Day for Inwood

Walking down Broadway this afternoon, I discovered that the antique fire alarm that stood on the corner of Isham Street and Broadway since around 1910 had been knocked down.  My guess is that a city plow got the best of it.  



This must weigh a ton.  I imagine it is cast iron. It was featured in an article by the folks at Forgotten New York last year.  http://forgotten-ny.com/2013/02/broadway-and-isham-streets-inwood/

Will this relic be saved?  Perhaps reinstalled?  Let me know if you have any information about this landmark.
