Stone Mill Suites History

The building which is now Stone Mill Suites was completed in 1885 by the Nelson brothers who constructed its 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 located in the upper levels of the building. Carload after carload of product was shipped east, preserved by the ice from the mill pond.

A Mr. Fosse owned the stone building until the mid-1930s when a Mr. Wilson became operator. The business continued until 1950, after which the stone building and the wood frame building just east of it were used by Lanesboro Grain, owned and operated by the Hager family.

The Lamon-Mortimer family purchased the facility in October 1999, our hope being to restore and preserve much of the building’s history and structure while providing a comfortable, elegant, and most importantly a fun lodging experience for our guests.
