Hugo Hotel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hugo Hotel is an abandoned tenement building located at San Francisco's South of Market district, built in the 1950s. The hotel is noted for its defenestration of furniture, meaning throwing objects out of windows halfway, which was created in 1997 by Brian Goggin with a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts[1][2]
This building has also been considered by the City and County of San Francisco to be taken over by eminent domain and demolished for affordable housing.[3][4][5][6]
