The iconic Morrison Hotel made famous by The Doors, was destroyed by a fire in Los Angeles on Thursday morning.
The Morrison Hotel, featured on The Doors’ 1970 album “Morrison Hotel,” caught fire after being occupied by squatters.
The four-story hotel has been vacant for over a decade, but fans of The Doors have been known to take photos in front of the once-respected hotel.
Henry Diltz, the photographer who snapped the photo of the doors posing inside the Morrison Hotel, stated he was “very sad” to see the building destroyed and hoped someone would “rebuild it.”
