Birmingham firefighters battled a blaze overnight in the 800 block of 12th Street North, identified as the historic Black Elks lodge.

A representative at the Fire and Rescue Department was not immediately available to provide an update.

Video of the fire appeared to show the roof of the building was missing. The cause of the fire and the full extent of the damage were not known Saturday morning.

The lodge at 800 12th St. North was the home to the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World (IBPOEW), a Black fraternal order established in the U.S. in 1897.

The site of the fire once housed the Jones Valley Lodge #14.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
