A fire destroyed the historic Brackney Inn in Susquehanna County Saturday afternoon.

The Silver Lake fire chief says it started in the rear corner of the building, causing more damage than the last fire back in October.

The cause of the fire is being investigated, but the owner believes it's suspicious. 

He's been rebuilding the Inn for the past eight months, and it was set to reopen in a couple of weeks.

But now he's unsure of the building's future.

"To me, it looks like a total loss," said owner Greg MacBlane. "I mean I don't know how much one person can take, because I want to reopen. I planned on keeping this place for the next 15 years or so."

He says he expects to know the cause of the fire by Monday.
