The Historic Fire Bell Tower, located at the corner of Jefferson and Tyler Streets in Port Townsend, Washington, is a remarkable 75-foot wooden structure built in 1890. It originally served as a signaling mechanism for volunteer firefighters, featuring a 1500-pound brass bell that alerted them to emergencies for over 50 years.

Recognized as the only known tower of its kind in the United States, the Fire Bell Tower was restored in 2003 and received the 2004 State Historic Preservation Officer's Award for Resource Stewardship. It stands as a proud reminder of the region's heritage, amidst a backdrop of beautiful Victorian homes.
