Welcome / introduction / overview of The Hotel Demolition Channel

Welcome! The Jack Tar Hotel was completed in 1960 and it occupied an entire city block of San Francisco. In the 1980’s it was renamed to the Cathedral Hill Hotel. But, after occupying that city block for over 50 years, it was demolished in 2014 to make way for the construction of a new hospital.
On this channel we watched that demolition. I recorded 34 weeks of the demolition, many hours of video - a little over 3 terabytes of raw video footage. And over time I edited and uploaded videos to this channel, both overall time-lapses as well as various closeups of the demolition.
After the demolition of the hotel was completed, this channel went idle for years. It became active again briefly for some videos of the demolition of an old TV studio building just a block away from where the hotel was. That demolition has also now completed, so this channel is idle again. This channel is probably not going to have any new uploads going forward unless they decide to demolish some other building nearby, which could happen, although I'm not aware of any.
If you'd like to follow the construction of the new hospital that arose after the demolition of the hotel, or the building that follows the demolition of the TV studio, then I invite you to check out another of my channels, the "Hospital Construction Channel". Over there, I followed the construction of the hospital for almost 5 years from 2014 to 2019, again with various time lapses and closeups, and have just started following the construction of a senior living building that is under construction. And, if you like, I also invite you to check out my third channel, which is called “Part of the Third Part” - Its mostly about San Francisco. You can find links to these other channels on the page for this channel.
Anyway, feel free to comment, I’d love to hear from you, and I hope you’ll find this channel interesting. After all, who doesn’t like watching an entire city block being demolished in the middle of the city?
Note that I don't have any affiliation with the hotel, the hospital, or any of the demolition or construction companies. I’m just doing this as a hobby, showing what’s visible to the public.

[This would be the "channel trailer" for this channel, but I dislike how they auto-play every time you go to the channel page if you're not a subscriber, which I find to be annoying. Therefore, I put this video into a Playlist at the top of the channel instead. Best I can do since UA-cam won't let me turn off auto-play.]

Great videos! Thanks for putting these together. Do you happen to live or work where you're taking the videos from? I'm following a couple of construction projects in Mountain View right now, but unfortunately I don't live near enough to see the things you've seen.
