Nevada City Firehouse No. 1 is a historic former firehouse located at 214 Main Street in Nevada City, California. Completed in May 1861 as the city's second firehouse (Nevada City Firehouse No. 2 was the first), it is considered a symbol of the city and "probably the most-photographed building in the entire California Gold Rush country." Closed in 1938, the building reopened in 1947 as Firehouse No. 1 Museum or simply Firehouse Museum. The museum covers Nevada County history from the late 19th to early 20th century.
