Old Bridgeville Fire House is a historic fire station located in Bridgeville, Sussex County, Delaware. It was built in 1911, and is a two-story, rectangular, concrete brick structure in a vernacular style. The building measures 25 feet wide by 35 feet deep. It has a gable roof and features corner pilasters, a segmentally arched window and door openings, and a simple cupola-bell tower. After the fire company sold the building in 1928, it was used for many years for storage until it was acquired by the Bridgeville Historical Society in 1977.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
