The attic and third floor of the building were badly damaged during the bombing of Helsinki in 1944, when the building was hit by two incendiary bombs and one mine bomb. In 1955, part of the bazaar wing and the courtyard building were dismantled to make room for the Rautatalo building constructed nearby. In 1957 the nine-story commercial building of the Jusélius foundation was constructed on the other side of the building at Aleksanterinkatu 48, and thus Domus Litonii became the last building in the city centre to remind of the city architecture in the 19th century.
