In the 1970s, the building was sold to the Portland Korean Church (which had been located on Northeast 23rd Avenue), in preparation for the church's move to the Beaverton area, which occurred in February 1978.[5]

The building caught fire in September 2020[6][7] and was later burned in an arson attack on January 3, 2023,[8][9] and was subsequently demolished.[10][11][12][13]
