Demolished or destroyed.
The House of the Blackheads is a building in the old town of Riga, Latvia, first erected in 1334 as a warehouse and meeting place for merchants. Bombed to ruin in 1941, it was demolished by the Soviet government in 1948 and rebuilt between 1996 and 2000, opening officially on 9 December 1999. Its cellar is the only original part to survive the war, and today it serves as an event centre and museum.
