And Dixville Notch ain't Chicago.

BERLIN — Demolition and renovation at the Balsams Grand Hotel will get under way this spring with the goal of reopening the grand resort in the summer of 2013.
Dan Hebert, one of the co-owners of Balsams View LLC, gave an overview of plans for the facility at last week's meeting of the Coos Planning Board.
Hebert said abatement of hazardous materials in the hotel is scheduled to get under way May 1 and take about three weeks. That will be followed by extensive demolition totaling about 400,000 square feet, including the former Tillotson rubber factor, boiler, and the wind whistle house. The demolition is expected to take two months.
The remaining 130,000 square feet of space will be completely renovated, and Hebert said about 80,000 square feet of new space will be added. When complete, he said the redesigned hotel should total about 206,000 square feet. The new space will include a conference center, spa, and pool house. The Dix House will be retained and there will be a 14-room tower added to the Hampshire House. The plans call for relocating Cold Spring Road and creating new parking.
Herbert said he and co-owner Dan Dagesse expect to start construction July 1 and open for business 12 months later.

Sounds like from that article that the vast majority of the demolition work will be pertaining to the now defunct rubber manufacturing factory that was on property near the hotel, not the hotel itself.
