A massive fire heavily damaged a historic downtown Los Angeles building that once housed the iconic Morrison Hotel, made famous by The Doors.
Friday, December 27, 2024 4:03AMFirefighters responded to the vacant four-story building in the 1200 block of Hope Street just before 11 a.m., according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The building was once the home of the Morrison Hotel, which became popular after famed L.A. rock band The Doors featured it on the cover of their 1970 album, "Morrison Hotel."The album cover shows the group - singer Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger - posing under the "Morrison Hotel" sign on the building's window.
"Firefighters made their way up and located heavy fire on the fourth floor," LAFD said in a statement. "The well-developed fire breached the roof and triggered the Incident Commander's decision to move to a defensive operation."
