We were staying at a nineteenth century stone building B&B which combines the history of the past and the conveniences of the present.
This building was completed in 1885 by the Nelson brothers who constructed the walls out of limestone quarried from the bluffs surrounding Lanesboro. The stone building originally served as a cold storage facility. Its lower levels being used to store ice cut from the nearby mill pond. The cold storage complemented the egg and poultry receiving and processing plant that also operated in the building. Carload after carload of product was shipped east, preserved by the ice from the mill pond. Through various owners and managers, the egg and poultry business continued into the 1950’s, after which the stone building and the wood frame building just east of it was used by Lanesboro Grain, owned and operated by the Hager family. The Lamon-Mortimer family purchased the Facility in 1999, with their hope to preserve much of the buildings history and structure.
