Old Weaverville Fire Station

This building, with its rammed earth wall was constructed by early Chinese settlers.

On January 17, 1910, it was purchased by the Weaverville Fire District and was their fire station until 1949.

In 1979, the local fire district, with funding from the California Department of Parks and Recreation and the local Rotary Club, built a protective structure to preserve the rammed earth walls.

Marker is on Main Street (California Route 3 / 229).
