Pierce City Fire Station, Courthouse and Jail is a historic multipurpose fire station, courthouse, and jail building located at Pierce City, Lawrence County, Missouri. It was built in 1886, and is a two-story, Italianate style brick building. It measures 25 feet by 75 feet. It features a distinctive square, hipped roof bell tower and tall vertically oriented windows topped by rectangular topped hoods. The building was the focal point of a race riot August 18–20, 1901, which received national attention and, in part, inspired Mark Twains essay "The United States of Lyncherdom".
