Lodgepole’s Oldest Building Destroyed by Fire
Fire crews from Lodgepole and Chappell saved adjacent structures as a vacant three year old building on Lodgepole main street between Cinderella Beauty Shop and the drug store burned late Sunday. The wood frame structure built circa 1898 had housed a hotel then a mercantile, cafe, and barber shop. Flames spotted about 11 p m and under control in 45 minutes, with crews remaining until about 4 a m to guard against rekindling. The owner was Mrs. A B Rapp. Chief Kripal said the blaze likely began by combustion and could have spread rapidly if not noticed.
