A large part of the patrimonial Hotel Lincoln in Casablanca has collapsed due to havy rainfall of the last days. The real cause though of this disaster is the miserable state of this historical building, which has been neglected for years. For more information on this building Check out http://www.rickscafe.ma/NEWZ_all/new...ncoln_main.htm

The damage is enormous, but the façade of the building still stands, How long it's going to take them to restore it?

OMG That's so sad

it's been like that for years now, I used to get scared and nervous every time i walked by on my way to school.

Designed by the architect Hubert Bride in 1916, the building had been under threat of demolition for more than 10 years since part of the old hotel collapsed, killing two passers by.

I'm sure they can restore it but i wonder how since the only thing left is the front side. I wish i had enough money to invest on it, it will be an awesome luxury hotel. any investors?
