The fire of 2000 marked a significant chapter in the history of the Red House. While the flames destroyed much of the Cross Building, the Octagonal Building miraculously survived, thanks to a critical structure later known as "The Fire Wall." This wall successfully halted the spread of the fire, symbolizing the resilience of the building's architecture and its historical importance.
In 2002, after extensive restoration, the Red House reopened to the public, integrating diverse functions and welcoming new shops, once again becoming a hub of culture and commerce. "The Fire Wall," preserved as a key historical relic, stands as a testament to the rebirth and enduring legacy of the Red House. Today, the Red House is not only a significant cultural landmark in the city but also a symbol of ongoing growth and vitality.
