The historic Deauville Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida was demolished on November 13 after standing for 65 years.

The 17-story historic hotel, built in 1957, at 6701 Collins Avenue was demolished by the city — crumbling after a few explosions. The hotel had fallen into disrepair in recent years following an electrical fire that forced it to close its doors in 2017, The Associated Press reported.

In its heyday, the hotel hosted a speech by President John F. Kennedy and a performance by The Beatles, among other notable figures.

The hotel also hosted appearances from Judy Garland, George Gershwin, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Jerry Lewis, among others.
