      <br>
      If the feature is disused then place disused: in front of the
      existing tag;<br>
      <br>
      so <br>
      building=apartments<br>
      becomes<br>
      disused:building=apartments<br>
      <br>
      or<br>
      building=yes<br>
      becomes<br>
      disused:building=yes<br>
      <br>
      ....<br>
      Having both disused:building=* and disused:building=* is a
      conflict, it is disused or not? <br>
      <br>
      OSM does not map history, the past use of a building is not what
      'we' map. OSM does map what the building 'looks' like -
      apartments, church, post office etc. Using the disused: tag does
      not change this, but adds the information that it is presently
      disused. <br>

                There are some tower blocks near me which have been
