The Imperial Hotel was a landmark in Tokyo, Japan. To replace the original wooden structure, the owners commissioned a design by the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It survived the magnitude 7.9 Great Kanto earthquake of 1921. Time took its toll, and in 1976, the facade and pool were moved to Meiji Village, a collection of buildings (mostly from the Meiji Era) near Nagoya, while the rest of the structure was demolished to make way for a new hotel on the site.
