About our Crosslake Minnesota Location

Our Crosslake, MN location opened in 2020, marking a natural expansion rooted in long-standing relationships and a genuine love for the community. Our founder, Al Stewart, spent many years enjoying his cabin in the Crosslake area, building friendships and connections throughout the region. That time up north shaped more than memories; it built trust.

As those relationships grew, so did the opportunity to better serve the lakes area with local expertise and a hometown presence. Opening our Crosslake office was a meaningful step in continuing Structural Buildings’ legacy of quality craftsmanship, honest service, and community involvement.

Today, our Crosslake team is proud to serve the region with custom post-frame buildings, barndominiums, garages, agricultural and commercial projects, built with the same values that inspired us to put down roots here in the first place.

The Crosslake Community

Crosslake, Minnesota, is a welcoming lakes-area community known for its natural beauty, outdoor recreation, and small-town charm. Located in the heart of the Whitefish Chain of Lakes, Crosslake is a destination for both year-round residents and seasonal visitors who value time on the water, up-north traditions, and a strong sense of community.

From boating, fishing, and snowmobiling to local shops, restaurants, and community events, Crosslake blends the relaxed pace of lake life with an active, close-knit atmosphere. It’s a place where relationships matter, neighbors know each other, and quality craftsmanship and local businesses are deeply appreciated, making it a truly special place to live, work, and build.

Crosslake Projects

The Crosslake region is home to a wide variety of projects that demonstrate the versatility of post-frame construction. From residential retreats and recreational buildings to aviation and commercial facilities, Structural Buildings has delivered custom solutions designed to fit the unique needs of property owners across northern Minnesota. Each project is thoughtfully designed to balance functionality, durability, and aesthetics—ensuring buildings perform in Minnesota’s climate while complementing the surrounding landscape.

Recent projects in the Crosslake area highlight just how adaptable post-frame construction can be. The Merri Barndominium blends comfortable living space with practical storage and garage functionality, creating a modern lake-country home built for both everyday living and recreation. In Grand Rapids, a custom airplane hangar showcases the clear-span capabilities of post-frame construction, providing the large open space required for aircraft storage and maneuverability. The DeCoux Hunting Lodge was designed as a welcoming retreat for gathering and relaxing after time outdoors, combining rustic character with the durability needed for year-round use. Meanwhile, the Cross Tech Commercial Building demonstrates how post-frame construction can support growing businesses with efficient construction timelines, flexible interior layouts, and a professional exterior presence.

Together, these projects represent the range of possibilities Structural Buildings delivers throughout the Crosslake area—where thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and adaptable building systems come together to create structures built to serve their owners for decades.

“After talking to several frame building contractors we decided to have Structural Buildings, design and build our new building. They had the ability to design and construct the building, including the mechanicals so that everything function as designed. The exterior design has been has been praised by our customers and our community. The layout of the building functions well and our needs for a shipping dock were more than adequately filled and functional. State of the art materials were used and we expect a long efficient use. We would use Structural again.”
