Washington Firehouse No. 5 is a two-story brick Greek Revival fire station built in 1851 in Mobile, Alabama, to house the privately run Washington Fire Company. Constructed at a cost of $5,500, the building exemplifies the Greek Revival style through its Doric distyle-in-antis portico at street level, which supports an upper story featuring jib windows that open onto a cantilevered iron balcony. The structure was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1936 and added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 22, 1983.
