WASHINGTON, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) -- A fire ravaged a 117-year-old manor in the Pocono Mountains in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania, local media reported Saturday.
The fire was out for the most part of the historic Pocono Manor Resort and Spa by Saturday morning, fire officials were quoted as saying. It had started at about 7:00 a.m. Friday morning, and all the 20 people in the building had managed to run out.
Opened in 1902, the resort covers 5 square miles and is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, according to the resort's website.
"A piece of history is gone," a social media user named Jenny Fisher wrote on the resort's Facebook page.
