Inside Chateau Hotel: A Scene From the SRO's Final Days
Resident Pedro Donaldson filmed as crews in white body suits threw carpeting and debris out the hotel's windows.
Friday was the final day anyone was allowed to live inside Lake View's Cheateau Hotel, and based on this video, things cleared out pretty quick.
Chateau resident Pedro Donaldson filmed as crews in white body suits and face masks wasted no time gutting the vacant rooms. The video was originally obtained by WBEZ.
Watch as Donaldson walks the halls, filming the apartment doors with a big "X" painted on them as the men in white throw debris like carpet out the window.
