A historic mansion in Joliet sustained extensive fire damage Wednesday afternoon.

A battalion chief said he doesn't think the Haley Mansion will be considered a total loss, according to WGN.

There was no one in the building when the fire was discovered and there were no injuries.

The mansion was built in 1891 by Patrick Columbus Haley. Construction took about two years.

The building was turned into an elaborate wedding venue. 

The cause remains under investigation.
