Often, because they cannot be removed, load-bearing Tikis are just covered up upon renovation for a new space. This is what happened when the Kapu Kai was turned into a country-style roller rink. Just recently, gold leaf mural maps were uncovered after being boarded up for decades with a more politically correct motif at the Golden Bar in Munich, Germany: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=43223&forum=10 Or perhaps the basement was just filled in, like the legendary Cellar Bar at the Tropics Motel in Palm Springs: Dedicated urban archeologists are needed to find out!
