A stubborn fire has destroyed a century-old building in Lobo.

It took hours for crews to put out the blaze on Highway 22 at Nairn Road that started around 11:35 a.m. Tuesday morning.

It's not clear how the fire started but it is thought to have originated in the basement.

There is no damage estimate at this time.

No one has been injured.

A Middlesex County Fire Investigator will be attending the scene to assist in the investigation.

Egremont Drive from Melrose Drive to Gold Creek Drive, and Nairn Road from Melrose Drive to Lamont Drive were closed for approximately six hours, but are now open to traffic.
