In 1987 Frank Murray, the Public Works director, stated that the rock was an obstacle and posed a potential liability. It was announced that because the boulder had no historic importance it would be destroyed along with some houses and businesses to clear the way for U. S. 61.

The boulder was destroyed by dynamite in 1989.
