Old Hotel Posted by Robbie Boyes on January 7, 2024, 3:56 pm Some Timelapse shots of the Old Hotel. The first one ( I don't know who took it) Is from when it was in its glory. Next one down I took today. A lot of flattening has happened. The third one down is from 2 years ago with the south wing still standing. The bottom one is today . The south wing is flattened.

Re: Old Hotel Posted by Val on January 8, 2024, 9:47 am, in reply to "Old Hotel" Thanks for the pic of the hotel in its glory! The first time I saw it was 1990 and I have always wondered what it had looked like in its glory days.

Re: Old Hotel Posted by Sandy S on January 8, 2024, 10:21 am, in reply to "Old Hotel" Thanks for the photos. When we walked to Chantli Mar last week, we noticed that one of the ruin sections was down. Does anyone know what happened to flatten it? New owner? Will they be cleaning up the rest of the ruins? Any information is appreciated.

Re: Old Hotel Posted by Jesse connor on January 8, 2024, 11:19 am, in reply to "Re: Old Hotel" Thanks for the post Robbie. I’ve always been fascinated with that structure having first viewed it in 1995 . I was told at the time that there was a boiler explosion that dealt knoll when it was hanging on by a shoestring . I also was told that the reason for the collapsing of this concrete structure was largly due to the gross mistake of using salty beachsand instead of freshwater river sand . The beach sand is round , while the river sand has sharp edges and makes the concrete stronger . I’m only repeating second hand knowledge so it’s veracity is in question
