The Weir Engine House is a historic fire station located at 530 Weir Street in Taunton, Massachusetts. It was built in 1889 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. It is one of two stations in the city, along with the Whittenton Fire and Police Station designed by Taunton's second fire chief, Abner Coleman. It was built by contractor James T. Bassett.[2]
The station houses the city's engine 3, ladder 3, weir police precinct, and a community police substation. In addition to both the fire and police quarters, the station formerly included a neighborhood library. The Weir Engine house is one of four 19th century fire stations still in use by the City of Taunton Fire Department, along with Central, Whittenton and East Taunton.
