Great pics It has to be a an eerie sort of feeling being that close to the fire, hearing the flames roar and listening to the building collapsing. The wife and I stayed there quite a few years back just for a date night, bummer that it burned.

Sad to see a historic building lost to fire. You could still smell smoke in the canyon this morning.

That's incredible. Sad day. They had been given the go ahead for development of the old building. Old time Dallas right there. Sad to lose that one.

The next t the last picture reminds me of some structures in France in 1954, even though the war ended almost a decade before, some structures still stood as reminders of the past. Sad to see such a beautiful place destroyed,

Great pics and a sad deal. It is amazing how fast it burned and thoroughly it burned through the building. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for sharing the photos. How long did it take to go from smoke to fully involved to collapse?

Great pics It has to be a an eerie sort of feeling being that close to the fire, hearing the flames roar and listening to the building collapsing. The wife and I stayed there quite a few years back just for a date night, bummer that it burned. When it collapsed I started thinking about the letter I was going to write to the chief explaining why the squad car was on fire. I was too close when it fell, luckily I was on the opposite side of the fire trucks, they were pelted with bricks and rocks. Later in the night, I was standing under a transformer that blew, right before it blew you could here a loud buzz and feel a little tingle.
