Lansing was long associated with fish rescue work along the Mississippi River.

The facility was along the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad tracks, and it and other railroads in the state would transport fish for the state for a nominal fee in specially designed cars for stocking purposes.

In the 1930s the Lansing facility became the headquarters for fish management in eastern Iowa.

Beginning in 1984 the Lansing chapter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars began leasing the building.
