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.

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: o Approximately 40,000 square feet overall, with the original stone hospital comprising a substantial portion of the structure o Approx. 38 rooms/offices and 17 bathrooms o High exposed ceilings with steel trusses, plus concrete walls and floors o Large commercial kitchen with walk-in refrigeration o Dumbwaiter, two elevators, and multiple stairwells o All-glass enclosed patio o Brick wings reportedly designed by local architect Holland Brady and constructed with locally made brick in a Flemish bond pattern o More than 30 parking spaces across two parking areas o Three-phase power and a whole-hospital generator o 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.
