Sometimes I’ll notice that a building that I used to drive by all the time is gone (leveled to the ground). I know it’s gone, but I can’t remember what it looked like or what was in it. I just know it’s gone.
Is there a name for this?

Reminds me a bit of Jamais Vu
It’s not a perfect match to what you describe but it’s defined as “the phenomenon of experiencing a situation that one recognizes in some fashion, but that nonetheless seems novel and unfamiliar.”
In your case, you recognize there was a building, and recognize it should be familiar, but it still feels unfamiliar to you nevertheless.
Hopefully this is in the right direction lmao
