 The second Imperial Hotel was closed on 15 November 1967, and demolition started shortly after.While most of Wright's building was destroyed, the iconic central lobby wing and the reflecting pool were disassembled and rebuilt at The Museum "Meiji-mura", a collection of buildings (mostly from the Meiji Era) in Inuyama, near Nagoya, where they are open to the public.Because the building structure was brick and concrete and could not be disassembled, as much of the oya stone as possible, tiles, and other finishing materials were preserved.
