The building was taken by a fire that broke out shortly after midnight on Tuesday.
A news release issued by Cook County says dispatch was notified of a fire alarm at the Historic Lutsen Lodge around 12:24 a.m.

There were not any guests staying at the lodge when the fire started and no injuries have been reported. Eight fire departments fought the blaze at the historic resort, according to the Cook County news release.
