Gone But Not Forgotten – Last Video Inside Lake Charles Capital One Building Before Demolition

If you drove into downtown Lake Charles you used to see the Capital One tower which was all boarded up since 2020 when Hurricane Laura devastated Lake Charles and Southwest Louisiana. The tower had been sitting empty since the hurricane and finally, the tower was demolished.

As we watched on September 7th, 2024, the tower was torn down and the skyline of Lake Charles now looks a lot different than it did.

We also did a cool story about interesting and cool facts you may not know about the Capital One building like the building housed about 400,000 square feet of office space in the tower and that the tower took up four acres which included an attached parking garage. Read all the other interesting facts about the Capital One Tower here.

Pretty cool huh? Have you ever wondered what the inside of the Capital One Tower looked like in 2024? We found a cool video where it looks like someone flew a drone through one of the open or broken windows at the bottom of the tower.

In the video, you are about to watch you will see how abandoned it looks on the first two floors of the tower known as the lobby with the escalators were located. Ready to take a look inside? Let's go.

We sure miss the tower.
