WEST GLACIER – Crews are on schedule with rebuilding the historic Sperry Chalet in Glacier National Park. The 105-year-old wood and stone dormitory burned after an ember storm from a wildfire on Aug. 31, 2017.
Travis Neil
is the project manager for Dick Anderson Construction, which won the bid to
rebuild the structure in 2018 and again this year. Neil told the “Missoulian”
that substantial work should be completed around the first part of October and
that he expects the facility to reopen to the public for lodging next summer.
Reservations
aren’t being taken at this point.
Kevin
Warrington, concessionaire for the Sperry Chalet, said details about the 2020
Sperry season will not be available until November or December of this year.
