Dozens of people from the Yuba-Sutter area and beyond came to say their goodbyes to the iconic hotel that was part of Marysville's skyline for nearly a hundred years.
"Good afternoon, everybody and welcome to Mt. Marysville," said Dan Flores, the city's community development director.
Meanwhile, the community came together to say goodbye, even lining up to take a brick as a keepsake.
Marysville resident Linda Bouley-Houseweart has a very special connection to the building.
Flores said it was "really heartwarming" to hear stories from the community at Monday's celebration.
John Atkinson, a Vacaville resident who grew up in Marysville, created 3-D renderings of what the hotel looked like on the inside during its glory days.
Former Sutter County Supervisor Matthew Conant says his grandmother lived in the building for six months and had plenty of stories to tell.
Flores said the city is already being approached by developers and hopes to put some sort of mixed-use residential or commercial building in.
"I think, one day, the phoenix is going to rise from the ashes and something awesome is going to come out of here," Flores said. The city plans to haul away what's left of the pile to a hazardous waste site. They are waiting to hear back about receiving a federal grant to reduce the cost.
