The Steam Engine Company No. 7 building is a historic firehouse located in Louisville, Kentucky, United States. The two-story, brick structure was built in 1871. It is an excellent example of the application of Victorian design principles to a utilitarian public building, and is stylistically related to contemporary buildings in the Limerick neighborhood. ^[2]
