gutted building
Hollowed architectural remains
A gutted building has had its interior completely stripped out, leaving only the outer shell.
Fire may gut a building by destroying everything inside, or demolition crews gut structures intentionally during renovation: They bought a gutted building and rebuilt it from the inside out.
The image is of a fish with its entrails removed—hollow, emptied of contents.
