History damaged
The Saudi Gazette Published in The Saudi Gazette on 08 - 12 - 2010

Onlookers survey the scene Tuesday at the fire-gutted 200-year-old Riri historic building in downtown Jeddah. Tenants were able to escape as the blaze broke out early Tuesday morning and tore through the second floor of the second-class historic building. Downtown Jeddah is home to more than 500 historic buildings, 62 of which have suffered damage since 1980. (Okaz photo)
