I cannot agree more. I'm also unhappy about a fire, but rebuilding, fixing an old thing to be like a new one, it is a part of a history of the thing. Such a stories enrich history. In a child age I weaved a spider from wire. It was a state of the art toy, I used techniques of making wire toys I learnt from others and extended them futher with my own inventions. And I remember how I played with that "robotic spider with computer mind" by chopping it with a knife and then fixing damage done. (It was like spider got a serious fight and was damaged) Every iteration was a fun and in a very short time my spider become a battered and somehow much more valuable for me. It was so much fun that I almost chopped off my own finger accidently. I mean, this is somehow an inherent property of a human perception of things: past events connected with a thing cast a shade on that thing and with a time passing the thing becomes a container of the memory for all that events, and for all the times when events took their place. It reminds me the project of rebuiling Tally Ho[1]. You can change all the wood the boat was made of, but it would be the same boat. Moreover, the ongoing project of rebuilding Tally Ho enriches history of Tally Ho beyond imaginable, maybe all the previous 100+ years history of Tally Ho is being outshined by the current events in her life.
