In 2004, the Gathercole building was demolished and installation of new services began on the site.  Items on the façade and inside the building that may be of historical value were salvaged and items that could be removed and reused were donated to Habitat for Humanity.

The City of Saskatoon invited applications for the design and construction of two freestanding archways on either side of 2nd Avenue, using the masonry units salvaged from the entrance façade of the former Gathercole building.

Stonemason Rob Assie re-assembled these two arches to create a gateway into River Landing.
