      Taganevad saksa väed süütasid teatrihoone 22. septembril 1944. Seinad seisid veel aastaid püsti. Juba 1946 oli valmis stalinistlikus stiilis taastamiskava. Taastamise vastu oli just suurimaks argumendiks, et juugendstiilis hoone sobimatus kaasaegsesse (stalinistliku) linnapilti. Jugendstiilis Estonia teater vägistati taastamisel stalinistlikuks tordikarbiks. 1950ndatel hindas veel ekspertiis olemasolevate müüride seisukorda heaks. Aga endiselt kõrgemad jõud seisid vastu. Ametlike taastamisanalüüside taga oli juba varem kõrgemalt poolt tehtud otsus hoone lammutada. 6. märtsil 1961 lasti säilinud müürid õhku.
