Before the construction of this building, Muskegon's main fire station was located in the City Hall on Jefferson Street for nearly 50 years. [3] In 1929, Muskegon commissioned architect Leo J. Heenan of Pontiac, Michigan to design this building, with the assistance of the local firm of VanderWest and Child. The station was constructed in 1929-30, and opened on October 9, 1930. [4]
The fire station was in use from when it opened until 2007, when the city constructed a replacement building. [3] The city sold the building in 2012 to a developer, [5] who renovated the building into office space. [2]
