Hugo Hotel

The Hugo Hotel is an abandoned tenement building designed by Theo W. Lenzen[1] located at 200-214 Sixth Street, in San Francisco's South of Market district. The hotel is noted for its defenestration of furniture, which was created in 1997 by Brian Goggin with a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts[2][3]

This building is being claimed[4] under eminent domain by the City and County of San Francisco and will (some day) be demolished for affordable housing.[5][6][7]
