A historic resort along the North Shore in Minnesota has been
completely destroyed after a devastating fire burned it to the
ground Tuesday morning.
The 139-year-old Lutsen Lodge is considered to be Minnesota's oldest
resort. A Facebook post from the resort detailed the devastation
saying the business was "taken by a devastating fire" overnight
causing "total loss to the lodge building,"
"The amazing memories made here are in our hearts as we begin the
heavy weighted process to rebuilt (sic) back better," the post said,
adding that this was the third fire in the resort's history after
1949 and 1951.
Visit Cook County, in a news release, said that resort staff alerted
authorities about the fire shortly before 12:30 a.m. on Feb. 6.
Staff reported smoke coming from the floor in the lobby area.
Nine local volunteer fire departments along with the Cook County
Sheriff’s office responded to the call, arriving on scene to see the
building completely engulfed by flames. Fortunately, no guests were
on site and all staff members made it out safely. No injuries were
reported, said the news release.
“We are absolutely devastated about this tragedy,” owner of Lutsen
Lodge Bryce Campbell said in a statement. “There are so many
generations of families and friends who have vacationed and worked
here over the years. This place has held so many memories, today we
grieve together.”
Resort General Manager Edward Vanegas, who has been managing the
lodge for the past 5 years, in a post on Facebook post said that he
has "lost part of our family" from the fire.
Lutsen Lodge had become loved by the community and travelers, resort
owner says they will rebuild
Located off of Highway 61 on the shores of Lake Superior, Lutsen
Resort was founded as small fishing camp in 1885 by a young Swedish
immigrant Charles Axel Nelson. The resort is the oldest resort in
Minnesota, according to the Lutsen's website and Visit Cook County,
and has been loved by locals and tourists alike.
It was damaged in two back-to-back fires in 1949 and 1951, said
Visit Cook County. However, it was rebuilt after the 1951 fire in
the iconic Edwin Lundie style that it is known for today.
It is not yet known what caused the fire and a spokesperson of Visit
Cook County told USA TODAY that the State Fire Marshall is
investigating the incident.
Campbell, in his statement, said that they fully intend to rebuild
the resort again.
“There are a lot of unknowns right now, but what we do know is that
we will rebuild again and continue to keep the legacy of Historic
Lutsen Lodge going for many generations to come,” said Campbell.
