The Beaver Relief Society Meetinghouse, located at 35 N. 1st East in Beaver, Utah, was built in 1896. It has served as a religious structure, a meeting hall, and a civic building. Since 1977, it has served as Beaver's fire station.[2]

It is a tallish building made of tuff (pink rock) that was built for the Beaver Relief Society, the women's organization of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NHRP) in 1983.[1][2]

It is a different building from the Beaver Relief Society's Meeting Hall, which is located nearby and which is also on the NHRP.
