It was built in 1973 and demolished in 1991.

@Hotreboot do you know that happened with the manument? I don't see it in the answer coordinates?
Hotreboot June 16, 2026
It is stated above that it was dismantled in 1991. Judging by the coordinates, the foundations are still visible when viewed from the street.
