The Spring Street Fire House is a former fire station and current all-ages music club at 412 41st Street South (formerly Spring Street in the Avondale commercial district. The two-story brick structure was built in 1890 and occupied by the Avondale Fire Department when it was formally organized in 1893. Avondale was annexed into Birmingham in 1910 and a new Birmingham Fire Station No. 10 was constructed on 2nd Avenue South in 1926.

In 2010 the building was leased by Nathan Barrett and Eric Wallace who renovated the second floor for their apartments and have opened the ground floor as a music venue, primarily booking punk bands for all-ages audiences with no drinks served.
