But on the whole "map the building as what it looks like" idea, we have building=school.

What does "a school building" look like?

<br> Is mapped as building=church, it is certainly not unusual in areas
<br> where churches have become redundant.
<br>
<br> It certainly looks like a church and would easliy be mistaken for one
<br> other than the skylights in the roof.
<br>
<br> This was converted to flats in the 80s I seem to remember.
<br>
<br> Similarly <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/485430919">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/485430919</a> is a former
<br> Maltings, now converted to flats but easily recognisable as a Maltings.

<br> Creameries I do struggle with for the simple reason, and despite living
<br> in an area with a long history of cheesemaking, I cannot picture a
<br> building that I have heard called a creamerie hence what one would look
<br> like.
