A real estate developer is slapped with a 500,000 yuan (US$79,400) fine for destroying the courtyard residence of a famous Chinese architect in downtown Beijing.
Fuheng Real Estate, a subsidiary of China Resources, was also ordered to restore the brick-and-tile compound, the Beijing Administration of Cultural Heritage told the Beijing News.
Fuheng bulldozed the traditional-style courtyard in Beizongbu Hutong without an official approval last December.
The courtyard was once the home of Liang Sicheng, recognized as the "father of modern Chinese architecture" and his wife, Lin Huiyin, also an accomplished architect and scholar during the 1930s.
The compound was listed as a cultural heritage under protection by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage in 2009.
