I wish the old fireplaces hadn't been ripped out

So I think this sentence means :

The fireplaces had already been ripped out.

Now, I think it should not be ripped out.

Am I right?

Yes, the fireplaces have been ripped out in the past. Now I think it is a shame they were ripped out, and I wish they were still there.
