The Webster Street Firehouse is a historic fire station at 40 Webster Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. The brick 2.5 story building was built in 1893 to a design by the local architectural firm of E. Boyden & Son. Its main facade is visually eclectic, with yellow brick and terracotta elements, brick pilasters topped with foliate decoration, and an arched window surmounted by a tower with iron cresting. There is a central four sided tower with open belfry that is topped by a steeply pitched roof.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It was demolished circa 2000, a new fire station was built in its place.
