One of Wright’s apprentices heard of the eminent destruction of this building that Wright had so painstakingly worked on that he felt “obligated to Mr. Wright’s memory to do what I could for the Imperial” (28). However, Tafel was only able to save samples of every structural element, “a brick, a piece of the terra-cotta, a segment of the cornice, and so on— for the architecture department of the State University at Buffalo and requested a chair for the chair collection of the college at Geneseo, New York.” (29). If Wright was alive by this time, he “surely would have done something.” (30).

Early in the year of 1976, a corporation known as Crown Center Redevelopment started a project to design and construct a Hyatt Regency Hotel in Kansas City, Missouri. The firm in charge of the structural design of the hotel was a corporation from Texas called Gillum-Colaco, Incorporated or G.C.E. International Inc. Throughout the following year, a team of architects and engineers worked together to formulate an appropriate design for the hotel.

It was not until the spring of 1978 that the construction for the Hyatt Regency Hotel finally began. On July 1980, construction of the hotel was finally finished and the hotel was officially ready and open for business. The hotel soon became famous for its unique and spacious architecture within.
