Paide War of Independence memorial

Paide's War of Independence memorial was a whole building: the town's people's house, opened on 3 February 1929 and dedicated, as its plaque said, to the memory of the heroes of Järva County who fell in the War of Independence. It served as a people's house until 1987. In April 2023 the plan to demolish it for a new shopping centre earned the Estonian Heritage Society's ironic 'Bear's Favour' medal, and in July 2023 the building was torn down.

Eesti keeles

Paide Vabadussõja mälestusmärk oli terve hoone: linna rahvamaja, mis avati 3. veebruaril 1929 ja oli tahvli järgi püstitatud Vabadussõjas langenud Järvamaa kangelaste mälestuse jäädvustamiseks. Rahvamajana kasutati seda kuni 1987. aastani. 2023. aasta aprillis pälvis plaan maja lammutada ja ehitada asemele kaubanduskeskus Eesti Muinsuskaitse Seltsi Karuteene medali ning sama aasta juulis lammutati hoone maha.
