Houstonist Flickr photo contributor espngo got up early this morning to witness the implosion of the Montagu Hotel, formerly the Hotel Cotton, which was built in 1913. Cherry Demolition was contracted to implode the building to make room for a new 46-story building dubbed The Pipe Wrench.

It was your typical Friday night on the 3700 block of Main. There were bands playing at both The Continental Club and Shoeshine Charley's Big Top Lounge, The Mink was minding its own business serving drinks and Tacos-A-Go-Go were catering to their usual crowd of taco munchers when the evening started to really get hot! Hot as in flaming barrel hot. Houstonist Flickr photo contributor and resident photographer for The Continental Club, Jay Lee caught this event as it happened and has full details on his blog.
