|         9 | building | flats             |
|         1 | building | garage            |
|         6 | building | garages           |
|         1 | building | hall              |
|         5 | building | house             |
|         1 | building | hut               |
|        99 | building | research          |
|         1 | building | shed              |
|         1 | building | watermill         |
