That building was completely unfit for the needs of a (royal!) conservatory. Not sure demolishing it was completely necessary, as it probably could have been repurposed (although it was basically crumbling anyway).
This item is tantalising short. Was the building deliberately demolished or destroyed by accident? Why/how? Is anything replacing it? What happened to the Conservatoire as an institution? Etc.
Oh sorry: “demolish” is in the title!
