The restaurant attached to the historic Lucia Lodge along Highway 1 has been destroyed by a fire, according to representatives of Big Sur Fire.
Crews responded to the restaurant fire at 11:30pm on Tuesday, Aug. 10. The flames required help from a handful of other crews, including CalFire, Monterey Fire and Monterey County Regional Fire. According to Big Sur Fire, the lead agency, the lodging area is still in tact and the property's general store is partially burned.
An investigation into the cause is underway. The Lucia Lodge was built by the Harlan family in the 1930s and has since stayed in the family. Representatives from the Lucia Lodge were unavailable for comment.
This is a developing story and will be updated as details become available.
