It was razed in the summer of 1963 along with many other buildings in the Gateway Renewal Project. The total cost of razing Gateway buildings was $258,000, including demolition of the Spalding hotel at the cost of $43,500.

Naniboujou Club or Naniboujou Lodge in Cook County Minnesota near Grand Marais that comprises about 3,300 acres about 125 miles from Duluth about 15 miles from the Pigeon river was opening to many notables. Invitations were sent to 800 members, in July 1929. It never grew as expected due to the 1929 crash. It still stands. It is a lodge with a dining room right on the lake.
