Alteration
This fire station was added onto incrementally over the years. The Miller Hull.com web site said of this first station: "This building replaces the original FS #92 – built in 1962 as a small volunteer fire station updated with incremental additions over the years. Seismic deficiencies and years of deferred maintenance had left the station unsafe, with little street presence on a highly visible and heavily trafficked community thoroughfare adjacent to a popular neighborhood shopping center. Directly across the street is Pioneer Park, 113 acres of land maintained by the City of Mercer Island as a native northwest forest."

Demolition
The City of Mercer Island directed the demolition of the first Fire Station #91 c. 2013.
