<p>I linked three in a previous email which have several photos. I
have come across some which have a commemorative plaque outside,
so it's not just memory; it is recorded. <br>

<p>"we map what's present" - is that current use? What if it's
vacant? Do we map what we see or what the locals see, i.e.
"That looks like an interesting building, what is it?" - "Oh,
that's the old creamery, but it closed in 1975." Do you tag
that as <span style="font-family:"Courier New",Courier,monospace">building=yes</span> or <span style="font-family:"Courier New",Courier,monospace">building=industrial</span> or whatever the
outcome of this discussion will be?<br>

<div>If I was to build a residential property in a style that
I, or more importantly, you perceive as a church; & to
then say it should be tagged as a church, even though it's

<div> The building:use tag inappropriately expects
contributors to make guesses bases purely on a building's
visual appearance. <br>

<div> In OSM we map what's current. When a building stops
being used as a church/school/whatever, the building tag get
s amended appropriated;. If someone wishes to record what it
was, the historic tag, or similar can be used. <br>
