In Japanese tradition, you count the age of the building's soul. Even if it burns down and you rebuild it, the age of the building doesn't reset to 0.

I don't have any references for this, just my experience.

i'd say this sorta applies in the rest of the world, if it's rebuilt in the right way people will go "it's 1200 years old but it got bombed to shit and rebuilt after WW2"
