Sorry, I deleted my question assuming that I had found out the answer myself. But, I realized that there was another issue.
The underlined sentence below, "were" is used with the subject "the fire", a singular one. Then "were" is used subjunctively, referring to the present or future. But the writer who presented this sentence as an example of his explanation argues that this one refer

It is a mixed conditional sentences between type II (Unreal present or future) and III(unreal past).
As you cited yourself, were is used for all pronouns in the second conditional, because you are dealing with hypothetical or imaginary situations.
In the above sentence, the if clause is in form of second conditional and the main clause is in the form of third conditional.

Thanks Hrsanei...
Isn't there a possibility that the sentence can be interpreted as referring to the present or future event,
i.e. "If the fire should destroy the building, it would be a tragic cultural loss."?
Best regards,

This sentence of yours refers to the present time, But the one with third conditional in the if clause can by no means decribe a present

Thanks, hrsanei...
The following is an excerpt from Google. The underlined seems to be in the exactly same structure and to be referring to the future events..... It's really not easy for me to understand this part of English grammar.
This is the second summer I've stayed in Mr. Shane's unit. The place is AMAZING! The view is by far...the BEST on the beach! Nothing comes clos

Dear hrsanei...
After some thinking, I think I've taken what you were trying to explain. Thanks so much.
And how about this one: If it were to have rained every day, I would have been completely content with the music and the scenery.
This underlined sentence also refers to the past? Does it imply that there happened raining every day and the writer was complet
