We have the same issues with heritage buildings in Australia too, there's no silver bullet.

And a lot of those buildings just happen to accidentally burn down, such as the White Bay Hotel in Sydney.

The solution to that is simple: Enforce an exact reconstruction to be paid by the owner in case of destruction of the original for protected-status buildings. That's usually more expensive than keeping the old building viable.
