you can also have a look at start_date which would be inauguration or
start of usage of the building.

The standard is building=<building-typology>. I would not consider
ruins a typology, but a state, that's why another approach might be
better. building=xy, ruins=yes has as disadvantage that you have to
evaluate the ruins-tag to get it right, but personally I'd prefer
this.
