While Berger immediately recognized the discovery would throw a wrench into his plan to quickly connect the Corral Bar & Riverside Grill with the adjacent building to create a banquet facility, he felt a duty to preserve the historical artifact.
Very good of him to do that; I suspect if they hired a contractor or other workers to do it, they wouldn't care less.
That said, I think it'd be even better to digitise it too, given that all copyrights have long expired and it would help to preserve it more.

I know someone who minimally rehabs old shacks on the cheap and flips them to eek out a living.
One of his favorite materials for cheap roof underlayment moisture barriers is disused vinyl billboards.
I wonder if any of them will survive long enough to be a similarly interesting artefact when next replaced. They often get corrugated metal over them, in a dry desert environment I can imagine metal roofing lasting well past 50 years.

What does this poster look like, I'm thinking shades of for the Benefit of Mr Kite:
