The Reichstag Fire was at least an actual huge blaze that gutted the building so much it was then not repaired at all (that is until after the war, when it's been since was repaired from both the fire and the famous fierce fighting of 1945 when it was used as a stronghold by some Kriegsmarine conscripts turned ad hoc infantry).
In the American history, the Capitol was attacked by Puerto Rico separatists who shot people including multiple congressmen representatives inside, and no one talked about it in a year afterwards. And in 1814, the Canadians just burned it down and didn't even say sorry.

That was more the British that did that , the Canadians laugh about it that the US invasion failed and burned the White House down, the US always brings up the battle of New Orleans and the British....
...didn't give a shit and forgot about it as they were too busy dealing with Napoleon. It was also an extremely British raid as while they were burning it down, a civilian came to the commander saying some soldiers looted her place. He apologised, returned the items, took the soldiers responsible and punished them there as the White House burned.
Unlike the summer of love that'll take decades to repair if at all...
I'll put my money on "if at all". Some stuff I've read says that parts of LA are still not fully recovered from the Rodney King Riots, and it's been over 30 years now. Plus, the destruction directly benefits the politicians encouraging it - when a neighborhood gets burned down, it becomes even easier to bribe the people who lived there with government money rather than having them put in the time and effort to rebuild.
Such devastation, it'll take guys a day to clean it up if you pay for repairs

We've as choice a British army as ever crossed the seas,
We'll burn both town and city, and with smoke becloud the skies,
We'll subdue the old green mountain boys, their Washington is gone,
And we'll play them Yankee Doodle, as the Yankees did Burgoyne.
We're the noble lads of Canada, come to arms boys come.
…to be fair, there’s probably good reason that song didn’t become more popular.
More?
It was British Infantry. It was literally only the British.
The argument can be made some of them were proto Canadian as if I remember right this was before Canada was recognised as an independent country
