The Charter Oak Firehouse is a historic former fire station at 105 Hanover Street in Meriden, Connecticut. It is a two story brick building with Romanesque styling. Its most prominent feature is the four story tower, which has lost its original wood-frame open belfry. Built in 1876, it was the first firehouse built in Meriden.[2]
The firehouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 17, 1994.[1] At that time it was the oldest municipally-owned building, and had been converted to offices.[2]
