Where History
Meets Hospitality
A lovingly restored historic fire station in the heart of Pierce City, Missouri. Experience one of the most unique Airbnb destinations in the Midwest.
From Fire Station to Your Home Away From Home
We are here on Walnut Street in the heart of Pierce City, Missouri, in front of this iconic two-story landmark built in 1886, which will soon become one of the most unique AirBnB destinations you have ever been to — Engine and Iron. This building was once the city's fire station, courthouse, city hall, and jail — all under one roof — this building has witnessed more than a century of community trials and transformation.
The proud square belltower still wears its 1884 fire bell, a relic of a time when a single ring could rally a town's volunteer firefighters. Behind these tall arched windows were courtrooms where justice was debated, and on the first floor — a single, stone jail cell remains intact today, with the original jail doors.
After years of neglect, the State of Missouri rescued and stabilized the structure in the 1990s — replacing the roof, preserving the bell tower, and ensuring its survival for future generations. Now, this landmark enters a new chapter: renovations are underway for a one-of-a-kind Airbnb stay, inviting guests not just to rest here — but to become part of its living history.
