Engel Lukas Hall (Norwegian for formerly St. Luke’s Hospital) — Tryon, North Carolina Engel Lukas Hall is a rare historic landmark property in Tryon, North Carolina, originally opened as St. Luke’s Hospital in 1929. Set on approximately 2.35 acres just off Highway 176, the property combines significant local history, substantial restoration work, flexible redevelopment potential, and views overlooking Tryon with partial mountain vistas. Property History: St. Luke’s Hospital was established through the vision of Dr. Allen J. Jervey and Dr. Marion C. Palmer, who recognized the need for a local hospital serving Polk County families. Historical sources indicate the hospital opened on November 8, 1929, after support from local donors and philanthropic funding, the equivalent of approxmiately $3 million in today's dollars, brought the project to life. The original structure was built from local stone by local artisans, and later brick wings were added in the 1950s to expand services. After hospital operations moved to Columbus in the early 1970s, the former facility was used by Polk County for county offices. education services, and multiple, other uses for many years. By the late 2010s, the property had fallen into severe disrepair before restoration efforts began under its current ownership. Restoration and Improvements: The current owners undertook extensive work to stabilize and reclaim the landscape and building. Initial efforts focused on securing the structure by drying in the building, extensive replacing and rebuilding windows, and rebuilding major sections of the Spanish terracotta tile roof with new tiles, copper flashing and copper nails, and replacement rafters and decking, and rebuilding architectural features. They then cleared invasive overgrowth, removed massive, abandoned debris from the interior, and disposed of substantial amounts of abandoned materials to reveal the building’s original architectural character. Following careful demolition and massive cleanup, the grounds were eradicated of kudzu and replanted with more almost 10,000 trees, shrubs, and fruit trees, significantly improving the site’s appearance and long-term potential. Property Features: • Approximately 40,000 square feet overall, with the original stone hospital comprising a substantial portion of the structure • Approx. 38 rooms/offices and 17 bathrooms • High exposed ceilings with steel trusses, plus concrete walls and floors • Large commercial kitchen with walk-in refrigeration • Dumbwaiter, two elevators, and multiple stairwells • All-glass enclosed patio • Brick wings reportedly designed by local architect Holland Brady and constructed with locally made brick in a Flemish bond pattern • More than 30 parking spaces across two parking areas • Three-phase power and a whole-hospital generator • Convenient location a block above the planned Rails to Trails corridor connecting Zirconia, North Carolina, to Inman, South Carolina Zoning and Potential Uses: Under the current GB-CU zoning, Prospective buyers often envision hospitality or food-and-beverage uses for this property; however, those uses may require some limited Conditional Use Rezoning and Town approval.
