Fire Station No. 7 is a historic fire station at 665 Washington Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. The 2-1/2 story brick building was built in 1898, with modifications c. 1951 to accommodate larger vehicles. The building is an eclectic mix of Revival styles, with a Dutch Renaissance stepped-gable facade, and an Italian Renaissance hose tower. Its openings are framed by alternating brick and stone, and the corners have stone quoining. It was designed by Brookline native G. Fred Crosby, and architect with offices in Boston.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
