A weekend fire shut down at least one office at the Northerly Island Visitor Center.

The fire occurred about 5 a.m. Sunday on the first floor of a two-story building at 1521 S. Linn White Drive, the Chicago Fire Department said.

The city’s harbor agency has closed its office in the building until further notice, according to an announcement on its website.
