Ambassador Cam, #5



As we continue to chronicle the end of the Ambassador Hotel, we're welcoming photo submissions as well. This shot comes from Will Campbell's wife Susan, who works on the 12th floor of the building right across the street from the Ambassador site.

This fantastic view offers up a dramatic take on the teardown. As you can see on the left-hand side, the famed Ambassador bungalows -- where the rich and famous would live -- are almost completely gone. Meanwhile, most of the hotel's windows have now been removed, and the Cocoanut Grove entrance way continues to be dismantled.

Check our companion blog The Ambassador's Last Stand for a full chronicle of the building's final days.
